title: Synthesis of Mesoionic Isoquinolines by Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed C-H Activation.
abstract: Hydroxyl-substituted benzaldimines underwent a Rh(III) -catalyzed C-H activation and annulation with alkynes to provide novel mesoionic isoquinoline derivatives in moderate to excellent yields using oxygen as an internal anion source. This simple and efficient approach has a broad substrate scope.
