title: Cu(II) catalyzed oxidation-[3+2] cycloaddition-aromatization cascade: efficient synthesis of pyrrolo [2, 1-a] isoquinolines.
abstract: A novel and synthetically efficient Cu(II) catalyzed oxidation-dipolar cycloaddition-aromatization cascade reaction has been developed for a "one-pot" synthesis of biologically important pyrrolo [2, 1-a] isoquinolines.
