“…The reaction with 1,3‐dichloroisoquinoline proceeds selectively at the 1‐position (Table 3, entry 2). Bicyclic heterocycles with four nitrogen atoms are particularly attractive in the development of biologically active compounds; representative examples of their use include [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrimidines,12a,b,c [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐c]pyrimidines,12d [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐a]pyrazines,12e and [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3‐b]pyridazines 12b,f. The great versatility of our methodology is demonstrated by the fact that all these heterocyclic systems are available through the same two‐step palladium‐catalyzed‐coupling/oxidative‐cyclization sequence (Table 3, entries 4–10).…”
