A gold(I)-catalyzed, operationally simple coupling-cyclization technique was developed for the synthesis of isoquinoline-fused polycyclic compounds. The reaction makes use of two coupling partners such as o-alkynylbenzaldehydes and aromatic amines having tethered nucleophiles. The reaction is easy to perform, broad in scope, and allows the generation of a number of biologically important heterocyclic motifs from readily accessible starting materials. A mechanism for the reaction is discussed.
