An efficient rhodium(III)-catalyzed direct C-H oxidative annulation of isoquinolones with allyl alcohols as C1 synthons has been successfully developed. This protocol enables the straightforward synthesis of structurally diverse isoindolo[2,1-]isoquinolin-5(7)-ones with high atom economy, tolerates a broad spectrum of functionalities, and is applicable to one-pot operation from readily available -methoxybenzamides.
