- User-friendly methylation of aryl and vinyl halides and pseudohalides with DABAL-Me3
-
An extremely technically simple cross-methylation of aryl and vinyl halides and pseudohalides using an air-stable adduct of trimethylaluminium with a Pd(0) catalyst supported by commercially available biarylphosphines gives excellent yields of methylated products (mainly > 95%). Reactions can be run with either 0.5 mol% catalyst or without requiring the exclusion of atmospheric oxygen or the drying of solvents in some cases. A wide variety of functional groups is tolerated including CN, OH, CO2R, CHO and NO2.

- Synthesis of Isoquinolines from Indenes
-
A general procedure for the synthesis of isoquinolines from appropriately substituted indenes is described.Ozonolysis of the indenes followed by reductive workup gives intermediate homophthalaldehydes which are treated with ammonium hydroxide to give the isoquinolines.This "one-pot", three-step reaction sequence was applied to the formation of all of the mono-C-methyl-substituted isoquinolines in a regiospecific manner.The procedure is applicable to both electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents on the indene system.In this manner the 6- and 7-nitro-,-bromo-, and -iodoisoquinolines were prepared.
