Abstract
A multicomponent reaction of 2-alkynylbenzaldehyde, sulfonohydrazide, and tertiary amine is discovered, which generates the unexpected H-pyrazolo[5,1-a]isoquinolines in good yields under mild conditions. In the reaction process, silver(I)-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization and copper(II)-catalyzed oxidation of an aliphatic C-H bond of tertiary amine in air are involved.
