Abstract

An efficient, one-pot synthesis of 4-methylisoquinolines via a cascade Pd-catalyzed Heck reaction, intramolecular cyclization and isomerization has been developed. This reaction has a wide range of substrates with various functional groups, and the corresponding products have been obtained in good yields.
