RESUMEN
A convenient pathway to a new series of α-CF3-substituted α-amino acid derivatives bearing pharmacophore isoquinolone core in their backbone has been developed. The method is based on [4+2]-annulation of N-(pivaloyloxy) aryl amides with orthogonally protected internal acetylene-containing α-amino carboxylates under Rh(III)-catalysis. The target annulation products can be easily transformed into valuable isoquinoline derivatives via a successive aromatization/cross-coupling operation.

A convenient and robust method for the preparation of new CF3-containing 2-quinolones has been developed via a Rh(III)-catalyzed C-H activation/Lossen rearrangement/annulation cascade of N-pivaloyloxy-arylamides with internal alkynes bearing an α-CF3-α-amino acid moiety on the triple bond. This work expands the scope of valuable products that are available through C-H activation/annulation reactions of arylamides in organic synthesis.
