A novel, one-pot procedure has been developed for the synthesis of 2-substituted 3-alkoxyisoindolin-1-imine
derivatives via three-component condensation of 2-cyanobenzaldehyde, amine, and alcohol.
The efficient and convenient reaction conditions provide the corresponding products
from various substrates in good yields (65–96%) catalyzed by acetic acid. The straightforward
procedure is a valid contribution to methods for the synthesis of isoindolin-1-imine
derivatives.
