30. This may take place through the addition at the α′ position of the isoquinoline ring, to generate an o-quinodimethane intermediate (attempts to trap such species by Diels-Alder reactions resulted in failure), which may rearrange (1,5-sigmatropic shift) to the final compound 5, although an intermolecular process cannot be ruled out. Another interesting possibility, suggested by a referee, involves the isocyanide addition to the áposition and the trapping of the nitrilium ion by the carboxamido group to yield a strained (but precedented) anti-Bredt intermediate, which would rearrange to 5.
