Synthesis of Sterically Protected Isoindoles from ortho-Phthalaldehyde

Abstract

o-Phthalaldehyde (OPA) reacts with O-protected tris(hydroxyalkyl)aminomethanes in the presence of 1-propanethiol to afford a novel class of stable isoindoles. Steric protection provided by the bulkiness of C ₃-symmetric primary amines derived from tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane could be significant for the stabilization of 1-alkylthio-2-alkyl-substituted isoindoles derived from OPA. A plausible reaction mechanism is proposed to explain the formation of the isoindole and an isoindolin-1-one by-product.

Key words

o-phthalaldehyde - isoindole - steric protection - isoindolin-1-one
