A silver(I)–rhodium(I) cooperative catalysis in the reaction of N′-(2-alkynylbenzylidene)hydrazide with 2-vinyloxirane

A novel and efficient route to H-pyrazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline-1-carbaldehydes via a tandem reaction of N′-(2-alkynylbenzylidene)hydrazide with 2-vinyloxirane is described. The reaction proceeds through a silver(I)–rhodium(I) cooperative catalysis.
