Isoindolinones represent an attractive target for organic synthesis and a valuable scaffold for medicinal chemistry because of their widespread and diverse biological activities (Scheme 1).[1–3] Despite many known methods, there is an ongoing interest in the development of convenient and general protocols for the synthesis of these compounds.Hence, in recent years, novel approaches such as rheniumcatalyzed reactions of aromatic aldimines with isocyanates,[4a] acid-catalyzed aza-Nazarov reactions of N-acyliminium ions,[4b] palladium-catalyzed carbonylations of benzylic amines,[4c] and iodoaminations of α-substituted 2-vinylbenzamides [4d] have been developed. In spite of all these achievements, the selective monoreduction of readily available phthalimides represents the most straightforward and efficient route to this class of compounds. Known reductions of phthalimides make use of stoichiometric amounts of tin [5] or zinc [6] in the presence of an acid. On the other hand, the application of more common organometallic hydrides, for
