Jz. Brzezinski et al., Application of organolithium and related reagents in synthesis. Part 22. Synthetic strategies based on ortho-aromatic metallation. A concise regiospecific conversion of benzoic acids into the 4-pyridyl-2H-phthalazin-1-ones., SYN COMMUN, 29(3), 1999, pp. 457-473
The synthesis of phthalazin-1-ones 6, 7, 8 via the reaction of 3-hydroxyiso
indolin-1-ones 3, 4, 5 with hydrazine hydrate is described. Starting compou
nds 3, 4, 5 were regiospecifically prepared upon the lithiation (n-BuLi) of
the benzanilides 1 and subsequently the reaction of the dilithiated anilid
es 2 with methyl pyridinecarboxylates.
