Abstract

A synthetic method for azaheterocycles from aryl ketone O-acetyl oximes and internal alkynes has been developed by using the Cu(OAc) 2- [Cp*RhCl 2] 2 bimetallic catalytic system. The reactions proceeded with both of anti- and syn-isomers of oximes with a wide scope of substituents. The Cu-Rh bimetallic system could be applied for the synthesis of isoquinolines as well as β-carboline, furo[2.3-c]pyridine, pyrrolo[2,3-c]pyridine, and thieno[2,3-c]pyridine derivatives.
