Abstract

The present work contains a comprehensive overview of methods published in the period 2005-2011 for the preparation of polyheterocycles containing isoindole-fused ring(s). New synthetic routes are described for the construction of heterocycle-condensed isoindole derivatives with regard to the ring positions and types of these annelated ring systems.

Keywords: Isoindole-fused heterocycles, Isoindole ring containing natural compounds, New isoindole syntheses between 2005-2011, pyridoisoindoles.
