The isoindolo[2,1-b]isoquinolin-5(7H)-one scaffold is widely present in lots of bioactive natural products. Diverse types of strategies have been developed to construct this scaffold. Recently, transition metal-catalyzed C-H activation/annulation is emerging as a powerful and straightforward method to construct diverse polyheterocycles with high atom- and step-economy. It also has been employed for the synthesis of the isoindolo[2,1-b]isoquinolin-5(7H)-one scaffold. This review provides an introduction to recent advances for the preparation of isoindolo[2,1-b]isoquinolin-5(7H)-ones by using transition metal-catalyzed C-H activation/annulation. It will help researchers to find hidden opportunities and accelerate the discovery of novel transformations based on C-H activation/annulation.

We disclosed an efficient protocol for regioselective C6 C-H/N-H activation/annulation reaction of indole-7-carboxamides with alkynes to synthesize highly substituted pyrrolo[3,2-h]isoquinolin-9-one derivatives. Under optimized reaction conditions, electron-deficient and electron-rich internal alkynes reacted efficiently with various indole-7-carboxamides to deliver desired products in good to excellent yields. The synthetic utility of the product is demonstrated by its selective oxidation to the corresponding isatin derivative.

Acenaphthylene-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (AN-PAHs) are noteworthy structural motifs for organic functional materials due to their non-alternant electronic structure, which increases electron affinity. However, the synthesis of AN-PAHs has traditionally required multiple sequential synthetic steps, limiting structural diversity. Herein, we present a tandem C-H penta- and hexaannulation reaction of aryl alkyl ketone with acetylenedicarboxylate.

Article Synopsis
- Transition metal-catalyzed C-H annulation reactions have been commonly used to synthesize N-protected cinnolines, but previously, cinnolin-4(1)-ones remained unattainable.
- The study introduces a new method for creating cinnolin-4(1)-ones using Rh(III) or Ru(II) catalysts combined with a sequence of reactions involving cyclic hydrazides and vinylene carbonate.
- The research also highlights the significance of π-conjugation in the directing groups and provides detailed mechanistic insights through the characterization of a seven-membered enolic Rh species using mass spectroscopy.
