A facile synthesis of phthalimides from o-phthalaldehyde and amines via tandem cyclocondensation and α-C–H oxidation by an electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction

Abstract

Electrochemical synthesis of phthalimides form o-phthalaldehyde and amines via tandem cyclocondensation and α-C-H oxygenation of isoindolinone was acheived. The α-C-H oxidation proceeded with molecular oxygen by an oxygen reduction reaction...
