Fused heterocycles with nitrogen incorporation are of
particular
bioactive use and high importance in many research fields, especially
isoquinoline-based [6/6/5] tricycles. Here, we report a unique strategy
to access multifunctional N-fused tricycles from α,β-unsaturated
isoquinoline ketone and sulfonamide under mild reaction conditions.
The methodology features wide substrate tolerance, and a set of N-fused
heteroarenes including quinoline, phthalazine, quinazoline, quinoxaline,
and benzothiazole cores are furnished efficiently. Moreover, the protocol
is easy to scale up to synthesize lamellarin analogues, and the amide
group of the product is also easy to transfer to other functional
groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
