      The Journal of Organic Chemistry2011 76 (6), 1852-1873

      A two-stage “tandem strategy” for the synthesis of benzofused nitrogen heterocycles is described that is particularly useful for the construction of systems with a high level of substitution on the benzenoid ring. The first stage in the strategy involves ...
