An efficient Pd(0)-catalyzed alkylarylation of N-alkyl-N-methacryloylbenzamides with alkyl iodides for the synthesis of isoquinoline-1,3-diones is described. A highlight of the method is its excellent functional-group tolerance. Mechanistic investigations suggest that a radical addition/cyclization process is probably involved in the sequences.
