[reaction: see text] Addition of the enolate of tert-butyl acetate to cyanamide methyl ester 17 followed by treatment with LHMDS afforded vinylogous urea 19 in 27% yield. Vinylogous urea 19 was also obtained from 37 and tert-butyl cyanoacetate in 50%

A methyl ketone, an aryl bromide, an electrophile, and ammonium chloride were combined in a four-component, three-step, and one-pot coupling procedure to furnish substituted isoquinolines in overall yields of up to 80%. This protocol utilizes the palladium catalyzed α-arylation reaction
