The synthesis of the 2-aryl-3-hydroxyisoindol-1-ones 3 and their successive
conversion via the reaction with 1-methoxy-1-trimethylsilyloxyethene in th
e presence of titanium(IV) chloride into 3-carboxymethylphthalimides 7 and
subsequent cyclization via sequential treatment with oxalyl chloride and al
uminium chloride as a way of regiospecific transformation of the benzenecar
bocylic acids into the corresponding isoindolo[2,1-a]quinoline-5,11-diones
