Brønsted acid mediated intramolecular cyclopropane ring expansion/[4 + 2]-cycloaddition

Org Biomol Chem. 2019 Dec 4;17(47):10004-10008. doi: 10.1039/c9ob02379h.

Abstract

A cascade reaction of 3-hydroxy-2-phenylisoindolin-1-one and cyclopropyl ketone has been developed via a BrØnsted acid-promoted ring-opening/intramolecular cross-cycloaddition/[4 + 2]-cycloaddition process. The developed methodology provides straightforward access to pentacyclic isoindolin-1-one derivatives under simple reaction conditions.
