Formal nitrogen-to-carbon replacement in isoindolines to form indenes via N-alkyl tetrahydroisoquinolines
Herein, we report a Stevens rearrangement ring expansion of isoindolines to N-alkyl-2-aroyl-tetrahydroisoquinolines, followed by a photochemical nitrogen atom extruding ring contraction and eliminatio...

1,2 Wagner–Meerwein shift in aza-Nazarov cyclization: Bi(III)-catalyzed substrate-dependent divergent synthesis of highly substituted pyrroles and indenes
The Nazarov reaction and its variants such as aza-Nazarov and iso-Nazarov cyclizations are versatile methods for the synthesis of five-membered ring systems including pyrroles and indenes. The 1,2-Wag...
