Abstract

A mild and efficient Ir(III)-catalyzed C-H carbenoid functionalization strategy has been developed to access N-methoxyisoquinolinediones and N-methoxyisoquinolinones. The reaction proceeds efficiently in high yield at room temperature over a broad range of substrates without requirement of any additional oxidants or a base.
