Abstract:
The isoindolo[2,1-b]isoquinolin-5(7H)-one scaffold is widely present in lots of bioactive natural products. Diverse types of strategies have been developed to construct this scaffold. Recently, transition metal-catalyzed C-H activation/annulation is emerging as a powerful and straightforward method to construct diverse polyheterocycles with high atom- and step-economy. It also has been employed for the synthesis of the isoindolo[2,1-b]isoquinolin-5(7H)-one scaffold. This review provides an introduction to recent advances for the preparation of isoindolo[2,1-b]isoquinolin-5(7H)-ones by using transition metal-catalyzed C-H activation/annulation. It will help researchers to find hidden opportunities and accelerate the discovery of novel transformations based on C-H activation/annulation.

Reduction of Alkynes to cis-Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.
