A series of modified Hoveyda-Grubbs catalysts incorporating a chelating iodo-benzylidene ligand were prepared and characterized. The presence of electron-withdrawing ring substituents in the para position to the iodide was found to decrease the catalytic activity, revealing that dissociation of the Ru...I-Ar bond is not the rate-determining step.

A wide variety of substituted isoquinoline, tetrahydroisoquinoline, 5,6-dihydrobenz[f]isoquinoline, pyrindine, and pyridine heterocycles have been prepared in good to excellent yields via annulation of internal acetylenes with the tert-butylimines of o-iodobenzaldehydes and 3-halo-2-alkenals in the presence of a palladium catalyst. The best results are obtained by employing 5 mol % of Pd(OAc)2, an excess of the alkyne, 1 equiv of Na2CO3 as a base, and 10 mol % of PPh3 in DMF as the solvent. This annulation methodology is particularly effective for aryl- or alkenyl-substituted alkynes. When electron-rich imines are employed, this chemistry can be extended to alkyl-substituted alkynes. Trimethylsilyl-substituted alkynes also undergo this annulation process to afford monosubstituted heterocyclic products absent the silyl group.
