Atom-Economical Synthesis of N-Heterocycles via Cascade Inter-/Intramolecular C—N Bond-Forming Reactions Catalyzed by Ti Amides.

Direct and efficient catalytic reactions with excellent regioselectivity for the preparation of a series of substituted isoindoles, isoquinolines, and imidazoles are reported. Reaction of CH(2-CN)C≡C-R with an array of amines, catalyzed by 10 mol % of [ó:η:η-(OCH)(MeNCH)CBH]Ti(NMe) (1), gives a seri...
