A one-pot, three-component synthesis
of widely substituted isoindolinones
and isoquinolinones, featuring a Lewis acid-catalyzed efficient Strecker
reaction and lactamization sequence, affording products in good to
high yields is reported. The method has also been extended to the
synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) in high yields.
