title: Thermal Cycloisomerization of Putative Allenylpyridines for the Synthesis of Isoquinoline Derivatives.
abstract: A cascade (cyclo)isomerization/elimination process produces novel isoquinoline derivatives of potential interest for pharmaceutical, biomedical, and energy-related research. Mechanistic experiments support a putative allenylpyridine (reminiscent of the Garratt-Braverman cyclization) as a key intermediate in the cascade process.
