A concise synthesis of the biologically active alkaloid berberine is reported, and a versatile
palladium‐catalyzed enolate arylation is used to form the isoquinoline core. The overall …

Total syntheses of the antibacterial alkaloids berberine, coptisine, and jatrorrhizine have
been achieved in four steps through a unified route. The key step of this strategy is an …

An efficient and mild protocol for the direct construction of aryl-and alkyl-substituted
isoquinolines has been realized through silver nitrate catalyzed aromatic annulation of o-(1 …

The palladium-catalyzed coupling of an enolate with an ortho-functionalized aryl halide (an
α-arylation) furnishes a protected 1, 5-dicarbonyl moiety that can be cyclized to an …
