Abstract
Photoadditions of phenylacetates to phthalimide in pH 7 buffer solution give the corresponding benzylated-hydroxyphthalimidines in moderate to high yields of up to 94%. Subsequent acid-catalyzed dehydration furnishes the corresponding 3-arylmethyleneisoindolin-1-ones in good to excellent yields and with high E-selectivities.
