Sodium hydride, potassium carbonate, and other bases are commonly used for <i>N</i>-alkylation of heterocyclic compounds. This report reveals the problems associated with <i>N</i>-benzylation of isatoic anhydride and identifies the plausible byproduct structures formed during the reaction. Subsequently, a novel breakthrough methodology has been developed using diisopropylamine and tetra butyl ammonium bromide. It gives excellent yields >88% in a short reaction time (2 h) at 30 °C with no byprodu ...[more]
