The purpose of this study was to investigate the synthesis of isoquinolines, from indene derivatives with urea and oxygen via one-pot reaction. It was found that the best yield was obtained by using of a 3:2 mixture of 1,4-dioxane and toluene as solvent. Transition metal catalyst was not needed in this reaction. Previausly reported syntheses of isoquinoline derivatives were carried out in acidic conditions or needed a transition metal as catalyst in the reaction. In this research, out method is metal-free and the reaction condition is relativily mild.
