Ruthenium(<scp>ii</scp>)-catalyzed synthesis of CF₃-isoquinolinones <i>via</i> C–H activation/annulation of benzoic acids and CF₃-imidoyl sulfoxonium ylides

Abstract

The synthesis of 3-trifluoromethylisoquinolinones by a ruthenium( ii )-catalyzed C–H activation/annulation reaction of benzoic acids and CF 3 -imidoyl sulfoxonium ylides has been achieved.
