Abstract

Isoquinolines are an important class of alkaloids commonly found in natural products.[1] Their biological activities have resulted in them often being used as building blocks in pharmaceutical compounds,[2] as chiral ligands for transitionmetal catalysts,[3] and their iridium complexes in organic lightemitting diodes (OLEDs).[4]
