Isoquinolines are an important class of alkaloids commonly found in natural products.[1] Their biological activities have resulted in them often being used as building blocks in pharmaceutical compounds,[2] as chiral ligands for transitionmetal catalysts,[3] and their iridium complexes in organic lightemitting diodes (OLEDs).[4]A general and flexible approach to this class of heterocycles is highly desirable for the syntheses of delicate natural products as well as for the fine-tuning of the biological and/or physical properties of the compounds for final application. Although many ways have been developed to synthesize isoquinolines, classical methods such as the Pomernanz–Fritsch reaction have considerable drawbacks, for example, the use of strong acids and elevated temperature,[5] which are not suitable for sensitive substrates. In recent years, new transition-metal-catalyzed reactions have been developed to synthesize substituted isoquinolines from phenylacetylene substrates (Scheme 1).[6] These reactions have proven to be
