One-Pot Method To Construct Isoindolinones And Its Application To The Synthesis Of Dwp205109 And Intermediate Of Lenalidomide

Herein a practical and efficient system for concise synthesis of isoindolinones is described by using substituted methyl 2-(halomethyl)benzoates and substituted amines. Structurally various methyl 2-(halomethyl)benzoates and amines were transformed into isoindolinones 80-99% yield and purity in catalyst-free and solvent-free conditions. The method has a wide substrate scope. The synthetic utility of the one-pot reaction was demonstrated by the concise syntheses of Lenalidomide intermediate and DWP205190.
