Abstract

The oxidation of alpha-alkylhomophthalimide derivatives by dioxygen in the presence of ethanolic sodium hydroxide leads to the rapid formation of alpha-hydroxy-alpha-alkylhomophthalimide derivatives and hence, as a result of ring cleavage and lactone formation, to alpha-amido-alpha-alkylphthalides, potential precursors to phthalide isoquinoline alkaloids and analogues.
