Abstract

A new method for the synthesis of 1-substituted isoquinolines by a heterocyclization that involves alpha-benzyl TosMIC derivatives and different electrophiles has been developed. This methodology has been successfully applied to a total synthesis of cassiarin A, an alkaloid with potent antiplasmodial activity against Plasmodium falciparum.
