Pd-Catalyzed Reductive Cyclization Using CO Surrogates: Selective N–N Bond Formation and Access to Indazolo[3,2- a ]isoquinolines

A Pd-catalyzed reductive cyclization of nitroaryl isoquinolines using phenyl formate as a carbon monoxide (CO) surrogate is reported. The method provides selective access to 5,6-dihydroindazolo[3,2-a]isoquinolines, indazolo[3,2-a]isoquinolines, and 8,13-dihydro-7H-indolo[2',3':3,...
