THE PREPARATION OF SUBSTITUTED 1(2H)-ISOQUINOLINONES FROM DILITHIATED2-METHYL-N-ARYLBENZAMIDES, 2-METHYL-N-(ARYLMETHYL)-BENZAMIDES, OR 2-METHYLBENZOIC ACID, 2,2-DIMETHYLHYDRAZIDE
Se. Davis et al., THE PREPARATION OF SUBSTITUTED 1(2H)-ISOQUINOLINONES FROM DILITHIATED2-METHYL-N-ARYLBENZAMIDES, 2-METHYL-N-(ARYLMETHYL)-BENZAMIDES, OR 2-METHYLBENZOIC ACID, 2,2-DIMETHYLHYDRAZIDE, Synthetic communications, 27(17), 1997, pp. 2961-2969
2-Methyl-N-arylbenzamides (N-aryl-ortho-toluamides), 2-methyl-N-(arylm
ethyl)-benzamides (substituted benzyl, N-benzyl-ortho-toluamides), or
2-methylbenzoic acid, 2,2-dimethylhydrazide (ortho-toluic acid, N,N-di
methylhydrazide), were dilithiated with excess lithium diisopropylamid
e, and the resulting polyanion-type intermediates were condensed with
aromatic esters followed by acid cyclization to the 3-substituted-1(2H
)-isoquinolinones (isocarbostyrils).
