“…Recently we have proposed several effective synthetic approaches to the potential biologically active compounds such as hydrogenated hydroxyisoquinolines 1 [1,2], isoindolo [2,1-a]quinoline-2 [3][4][5] and isoindolo [2,1-b]benzazepinecarboxylic acids 3 [6,7] (Scheme 1) using furylsubstituted homoallylamines 4, 5 as starting materials. Amines 4 and 5 were obtained from easily available imines 6 and 7 correspondingly.…”
