Abstract
A metal-free method for the construction of 3,3-dimethyl isoindolinones via radical-mediated intramolecular coupling of two C–H bonds of N,N-diisopropyl benzamides was developed. The reactions can proceed in moderate to high yield and with excellent chemoselectivity. A reaction sequence of the formation of an alkyl radical via oxidative cleavage of alkyl C–H bond and the formation of lactam ring via intramolecular homolytic aromatic substitution was proposed.

- 15 Representative Procedure for Isoindolone Synthesis The mixture of benzamide 1a (41.0 mg, 0.2 mmol), (NH4)2S2O8 (91.3 mg, 0.4 mmol), AcOH (34.4 μL, 0.6 mmol), and MeCN (1.0 mL) was sealed in a 15 mL glass vial under Ar with a ground-glass-type stopper. The reaction mixture was then stirred at 120 °C for 12 h before cooling to room temperature and being concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate: 10/1 to 5/1) to give the isoindolinone product 2a as a white solid (27.2 mg, 68%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 7.78 (d, J = 7.5 Hz, 1 H, ArH), 7.52–7.48 (m, 1 H, ArH), 7.42–7.38 (m, 1 H, ArH), 7.34 (d, J = 7.5 Hz, 1 H, ArH), 3.70–3.60 (m, 1 H, CH), 1.56 (d, J = 6.9 Hz, 6 H, CH3), 1.48 (s, 6 H, CH3). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 167.4, 151.4, 132.1, 131.4, 128.0, 123.4, 120.7, 63.4, 44.7, 25.6, 20.6.
