Synthesis of Isoindolinones through Intramolecular Amidation of ortho‐Vinyl Benzamides

Abstract A synthetic approach of isoindolinones through intramolecular amidation of ortho ‐vinyl benzamides was reported. A variety of N ‐aryl isoindolinone derivatives were prepared in moderate to excellent yields using perfluorobutyl iodide as oxidant. magnified image
