Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) α-Azido carbonyl compounds bearing a 2-alkenylaryl moiety at the α-position are found to be promising precursors for synthesis of isoindole and isoquinoline derivatives via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddrtion of azides onto alkenes and fcrelectrocyclization of N-H imine intermediates, respectively.
