We have come across an unexpected reaction between electrophilic indoles and isoquinolinium methylides for accessing functionalized pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines. The reaction was found in general to yield the products in good yields. We also observed the formation of S-S-bridged bis-pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines from the reaction of 3-nitro benzothiophene and isoquinolinium methylides.

An array of chiral [1,2,4]triazino[5,4-]isoquinoline derivatives were obtained in excellent yields (up to 98%) and with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) via a new highly asymmetric (3 + 3) cycloaddition reaction of diazo compounds and isoquinolinium methylides, with a bifunctional chiral phase-transfer catalyst (PTC). Density functional theory calculations show that PTC has a bridge role in the deprotonation/protonation process. The obtained products were transformed into densely functionalized polycyclic heterocompounds with multiple stereocenters.

Convenient access to highly enantioenriched substituted quinolizidines has been achieved by chiral dirhodium(II) carboxylate-catalyzed dearomatizing formal [3 + 3]-cycloaddition of isoquinolinium/pyridinium methylides and enol diazoacetates. Coordination of Lewis basic methylides to dirhodium(II) prompts the rearrangement of the enol-carbene that is bound to dirhodium to produce a donor-acceptor cyclopropene. The donor-acceptor cyclopropene is in equilibrium with the dirhodium-bound enol-carbene and undergoes both enantioselective [3 + 3]-cycloaddition from the dirhodium-bound enol-carbene and diastereoselective [3 + 2]-cycloaddition by uncatalyzed reaction of the cyclopropene with isoquinolinium or pyridinium methylides.
