A new approach for fused isoindolines via hexadehydro-Diels–Alder reaction (HDDA) by Fe(0) catalysis†
Abstract
A simple method has been developed for the synthesis of fused isoindolines via a cascade HDDA approach catalyzed by Fe2(CO)9. In this work, a 1,3-diyne was involved in a [4 + 2] cycloisomerization with a diynophile to give an aryne intermediate, which was subsequently trapped with –OH nucleophile to beget the fused isoindolines in high yields.
