A novel synthesis of N-substituted-3-carboethoxymethylphthalimidines 5 is described from secondary benzamides. The benzamides 1 on lithiation with n-butyllithium followed by treatment with dimethylformamide furnish 3-hydroxyphthalimidines 2 in 74-84% yield. Phthalimidines 2 on reaction with phosphorane 3, provide phthalimidines 5 in 67-95% yield, via esters 4.
