Description
Summary:An efficient, atom-economic and one-pot synthesis of isoindolo[2,1-<i>a</i>]indol-6-ones via CuI/Pd(OAc)<sub>2</sub>-catalyzed intramolecular hydroamidation of alkynyl group, and C-H dehydrogenative coupling of <i>ortho</i>-alkynyl-<i>N</i>-arylbenzamides has been developed. This transformation occurs with the use of oxygen as the oxidant, and water is the only by-product. The reaction shows a high tolerance to a variety of functional groups, and affords isoindolo[2,1-<i>a</i>]indol-6-ones in good to high yields.
