Synthesis of Tricyclic Isoquinoline Derivatives via Palladium- Catalyzed Tandem Reactions of 2,7-Alkadiynylic Carbonates with 2,3-Allenyl Sulfamides

The palladium‐catalyzed tandem reactions of 2,7‐alkadiynylic carbonates with 2,3‐allenyl sulfamides for the syntheses of fused tricycles such as 1,3,6,7,8,9‐hexahydrofuro[3,4‐h]isoquinoline, 2,3,6,7,8,9‐hexahydro‐1H‐pyrrolo[3,4‐h]isoquinoline, and 2,3,4,7,8,9‐hexahydro‐1H‐cyclopenta[h]isoquinoline derivatives have been developed. A mechanism has been proposed based on the isolation of a by‐product.
