Abstract

A novel, convenient and efficient protocol to N-heterocyclic derivatives of 1,3-diaryl or diaklyl-2H-isoin-dole-4,7-dione has been developed via the Barbier-Grignard-type reaction. Good to excellent yields up to 96% have been achieved by performing the reaction in one pot using Ta2O5 as the catalyst. The protocol displays good tolerance to different aryl and alkyl bromides. Based on some experimental results, a plausible mechanism involving nucleophilic addition and electron transfer has been proposed. The quinone structure in 1,3-diphenyl-2H-isoindole-4,7-dione (3a) makes it coupling with amine to form more complicated structure.
