Abstract
A Rh (III)−catalyzed synthesis of isoquinoline derivatives from N-hydroxyoximes and alkynes via C–H activation/annulation process in biomass-derived γ-valerolactone (GVL) has been developed. A series of functional groups were well tolerated, affording the desired products in good to excellent yields.
