Synthesis of trifluoromethyl-containing isoindolinones from tertiary enamides via a cascade radical addition and cyclization process.

ABSTRACT: A radical trifluoromethylation reaction of tertiary enamides was investigated and trifluoromethyl-containing isoindolinones were prepared under mild conditions. Using TMSCF₃ as a radical source, PhI(OAc)₂ as an oxidant and KHF₂ as an additive, tertiary enamides were converted to isoindolinones via a cascade addition and cyclization process in moderate to good yields.
