An efficient cascade reaction of tryptamine-derived isocyanides with C,N-cyclic azomethine imines is described. The polycyclic pyrrolo[2,3-c]quinoline derivatives, which benefited from rearrangement process driven by hydrogen bonding, could be directly assembled in moderate to good yields (40–87 %) under metal-free and mild conditions. This transformation involved four new heterocyclic rings formations and uniquely, ring opening of indole as well as ring expansion of C,N-cyclic azomethine imine. Both experimental and DFT studies provided guidance on the in-depth insight into the reaction pathways and hydrogen bonding was identified to lower the free energy barrier in transition states. This work constitutes a rare example of tryptamine-derived isocyanide-based cascade reactions, and potentially could be a powerful synthetic strategy for accessing polycyclic analogues involved in natural products.

A series of isochromans were oxidized and brominated by using 1.2 equiv of CuBr2 in CH3CN at reflux to give the corresponding bromo benzaldehydes in moderate yields. A plausible mechanism for this transformation has been suggested.
