title: An unexpected silver triflate catalyzed reaction of 2-alkynylbenzaldehyde with 2-isocyanoacetate.
abstract: An unexpected silver triflate catalyzed reaction of 2-alkynylbenzaldehyde with 2-isocyanoacetate provides an efficient route for the generation of isoquinolines. The reaction proceeds smoothly in air under mild conditions with high efficiency.
