Cascade C–H functionalization/annulation of arylamides: access to succinimide-tethered isoquinoline-1,3-diones

Rh-catalyzed C-H functionalization/annulation of arylamides with maleimides has been accomplished to furnish succinimide-tethered isoquinoline-1,3-diones. The sequential C-C/C-N bond formation, substrate scope, access to quaternary carbon and functional group tolerance are the salient features.
