Novel aryl-substituted homophthalic acids were cyclodehydrated to the respective homophthalic anhydrides for use in the Castagnoli-Cushman reaction. With a range of imines, this reaction proceeded smoothly and delivered hitherto undescribed 4-aryl-substituted tetrahydroisoquinolonic acids with remarkable diastereoselectivity, good yields and no need for chromatographic purification. These findings significantly extend the range of cyclic anhydrides employable in the Castagnoli-Cushman reaction a ...[more]
