Hydrophilic Pd-phosphines catalyzed one-pot synthesis of substituted isoquinolines,furopyridines and thienopyridines in aqueous medium

A first example of simple and efficient hydrophilic Pd-phosphine complexes catalyzed one-pot three-component reaction of ortho-bromo aldehydes, terminal alkynes and ammonium acetate proceeds through the tandem coupling-imination-annulation path for the synthesis of substituted isoquinolines, furopyridines and thienopyridines in good to excellent yields in green aqueous medium at mild temperature was described.
