Functionalized isoindolin-1-ones have been prepared in short reaction time and excellent yields from 3-alkylidenephtalides and primary amines under ultrasonic irradiation.
A library of 3-substituted-isoindolin-1-ones has been synthesized from 3-alkylidenephtalides and primary amines through one-pot reaction under ultrasonic irradiation. Four isoindolin-1-ones have great potential to be antiplasmodium candidates.
