Abstract Oxidation of various benzylic amines using an indirect electrochemical method was successfully carried out under very mild conditions to afford the corresponding imines in good yields. Our results show that, for this electrolytic system, the iodide ions play an important role as electron carriers.
effort to exploit the bioactive natural scaffold 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one for plant disease management, 59 derivatives of this scaffold were synthesized using the Castagnoli–Cushman reaction. The results of bioassay indicated that their antioomycete activity against Pythium recalcitrans was superior to the antifungal activity against the other 6 phytopathogens. Compound I23 showed the highest in
