One-Pot Synthesis of Pyrrolo[2,1-α]isoquinolines via Tandem Reactions of Vinylselenonium Salt, 2-Bromoethanones, and Isoquinoline

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

An convenient and one-pot synthesis of pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines via the tandem reaction of methyl(phenyl)vinylselenonium salt with isoquinoline and 2-bromoethanones has been developed, which features very mild conditions, available substrates, simple experimental procedures, moderate to good yields, and wide functional group tolerance.
