Lewis acid-catalyzed reactions of N′-(2-alkynylbenzylidene)hydrazides with diethyl phosphite

Lewis acid catalyst-tuned reactions of N′-(2-alkynylbenzylidene)hydrazides with diethyl phosphite are described. Isoquinolin-1-ylphosphonate is generated when copper triflate is utilized as catalyst, while 2-amino-1,2-dihydroisoquinolin-1-ylphosphonate is obtained in the presence of palladium acetate.
