47%
With (1,5-cyclooctadiene)(methoxy)iridium(I) dimer; 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine In hexane at 80℃; for 18h; Inert atmosphere; Sealed tube; regioselective reaction;
With silver hexafluoroantimonate; dichloro(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)rhodium (III) dimer; copper diacetate; In 1,2-dichloro-ethane; at 120℃; for 24h;Schlenk technique; Inert atmosphere;
General procedure: N,N-Diethylpicolinamide (1; 0.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv), [Cp*RhCl2]2 (0.005 mmol, 2.5 mol%), AgSbF6 (0.02 mmol, 10 mol%), Cu(OAc)2 (0.4 mmol, 2.0 equiv), alkyne 2 (0.44 mmol, 2.2 equiv) and DCE (2 mL) were added to a 20-mL Schlenk tube. After being purged with nitrogen, the mixture was stirred at 120 C for 24 h. Then concd aq NH3 (2 mL) was added and stirred for 5 min. The resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by chromatography on silica gel to afford isoquinoline 3.
