Synthesis of Phthalimides: A New Entry via TBAI-Catalyzed Intramolecular Cyclization of 2-(Hydroxymethyl)benzamides

Abstract Herein we report an unprecedented metal-free TBAI/TBHP mediated C–N bond formation via intramolecular cyclization of 2-(hydroxymethyl)benzamides to furnish N-substituted phthalimides in excellent yields.
