Abstract

Synthesis of 1-aryl-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindoles (isoindolines) (10) was achieved in a highly effective manner via acid catalyzed cyclization of N-formyliminium ion (8) obtained from 2,3-dimethoxybenzylamine and carbonyl compounds with acetic-formic anhydride under a one pot procedure. This Pictet-Spengler type reaction provides a convenient method for preparing 1-arylisoindolines.
