isoquinoline and a strong CH-acid efficiently provides 1,2-dihydroisoquinoline derivatives in
a one-pot reaction in water at 70 C without using any catalyst. … The reactivity of
isocyanides or nitrogen-containing heterocycles such as isoquinoline as nucleophiles with
activated alkynes in the presence of strong CH-acids is well documented. The … To the
best of our knowledge, there has not been any report on the reaction between isocyanide …
