New light-induced iminyl radical cyclization reactions of acyloximes to isoquinolines.
[reaction: see text] An efficient photochemical approach for the unusual generation of six-membered heterocyclic rings is reported. Iminyl radicals, generated by the irradiation of acyloximes, participate in intramolecular cyclization processes and in intermolecular addition-intramolecular cyclization sequences.
