TY - JOUR AU - Nozawa, Ippei AB - A convenient sequence for the preparation of 3‐alkylidene‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐isoindol‐1‐imine derivatives 6 has been developed. Thus, 2‐(1‐azidoalkyl)benzonitriles 2, readily accessible from 2‐alkylbenzonitriles, are allowed to react with NaH in DMF at 0° to room temperature to generate [1‐(2‐cyanophenyl)alkylidene]aminide intermediates 3, of which cyclization and the subsequent rearrangement, followed by alkylation with alkyl halides, affords 2‐substituted 1‐alkylidene‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐isoindol‐2‐imines 6 in generally moderate yields.
