A copper-catalyzed formal [4 + 1] cycloaddition of benzamides and isonitriles via 8-aminoquinoline-directed C-H cleavage has been developed. The reaction proceeds well even in the presence of a base metal catalyst, CuBr·SMe2, alone to deliver the corresponding 3-iminoisoindolinones in good yields. Moreover, the unique acceleration effects of diphenyl sulfide are also disclosed.
