- new pyrido[2,1-a]pyrrolo[3,4-c]isoquinoline skeleton was synthesized by free-radical intramolecular cyclization of o-bromophenyl-substituted pyrrolylpyridinium salts using the (TMS)3SiH/AIBN system. The cyclization provides generally good yields of pyrido[2,1-a]pyrrolo[3,4-c]isoquinoline hydrobromides
- )-4-(ortho-iodophenyl)pyrrol-3-yl)pyridinium bromide makes it possible to obtain a monocyclization product, and the bicyclization product from the dibromo derivative. The procedure is also applicable to obtain 3-arylpyrido[2,1-a]pyrrolo[3,2-c]isoquinoline derivatives including 2-unsubstituted
- metal-catalyzed arylation [17][18][19]. We have recently successfully applied this approach to synthesize the new luminescent heterocyclic system pyrido[2,1-a]pyrrolo[3,2-c]isoquinoline A [17], which turned out to be useful for bioimaging [13] and as a ligand for the preparation of luminescent metal
