Enantioselective Synthesis of Azahelicenes via Rh-Catalyzed C–H Functionalization of 6-Hydroxyisoquinoline Derivatives with Alkynes

Abstract Herein, we report an asymmetric C–H functionalization of 6-hydroxyisoquinoline derivatives and annulation with internal alkynes. The reaction is catalyzed by a chiral cyclopentadienyl (Cp)-Rh complex in combination with a modified chiral amino acid. A series of azahelice...
