A practical iodine-catalyzed oxidative functionalization of isoquinolines with methylarenes is developed, which can be triggered by the selected oxidants to produce C1- or N-benzyl-substituted products selectively. This method utilizes readily available isoquinolines and methylarenes as starting materials and proceeds under metal-free conditions with broad substrate scope with respect to methylarenes, avoiding the usage of expensive metal catalysts and generation of halide and metal wastes.

We have unraveled the ruthenium-promoted prototype reaction based on C(sp2)?C(sp3) bond formation through the reigoselective C?H activation of isoquinoline and pyridine derivatives with various alkyl halides, leading to 1-substituted isoquinoline products in good yield. This C?H catalytic reaction did not rely on chelation assistance of the directing group of the substrates. The dimer [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2in combination with an N-heterocyclic carbene ligand, adamantanecarboxylic acid and K2CO3base in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone solution at 150 °C are the best conditions. Simultaneously, we are also able to chemically tune the reaction mode to dearomatization by adding water, leading to isoquinolone products. This reaction methodology is not suitable for other nitrogen-containing heteroarenes such as pyridazines and pyrimidines. (Figure presented.).
