Palladium-Catalyzed Carbonylation of 2-Bromoanilines with 2-Formylbenzoic Acid and 2-Halobenzaldehydes: Efficient Synthesis of Functionalized Isoindolinones
versatile method for the synthesis of functionalizedisoindolinones is reported. Various 2‐bromoanilines undergo palladium‐catalyzed carbonylation with 2‐formylbenzoic acid under a convenient and mild procedure to give good to excellent yields of the corresponding isoindolinones. Additionally, 2‐halobenzaldehydes can be applied as substrates in palladium‐catalyzed double‐carbonylation to provide identical
