“…Na2CO3 [75]; x, SiO2, hexane, EtOAc [67,73,74]; xi, NH3, EtOH, autoclave [67] or NH3, EtOH, ambient temperature [74] or NH3, MeOCH2CH2OH, reflux [73]; xii, HNO3, H2SO4, 0C-20C [76][77][78] or KNO3, H2SO4 [79,80]; xiv, AcOH, 100C [78] or aq. HCl, reflux [81]; xiii, HgSO4, H2SO4, acetone, reflux [82]. Eloy and Deryckere [68] devised a new approach to 5substituted isoquinolin-1-ones 23 through formation of ortho-substituted cinnamoyl azides 21, which were then thermolysed in diphenyl ether at 230C, triggering a Curtius rearrangement to the isocyanates 22 and electrophilic cyclisation.…”
