Reactions of imides with samarium(II) iodide was written by Brandukova, N. E.;Vygodskii, Ya. S.;Komarova, L. I.;Strelkova, T. V.. And the article was included in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk, Seriya Khimicheskaya in 1996.Category: indole-building-block This article mentions the following:
One of the carbonyl groups of N-phenylphthalimide is reduced by SmI2 to a CHOH or CH2 group at ∼20°. The reaction pathway depends mainly on the reactant ratio and the sequence of reactant addition to the reaction mixture Under similar conditions, both CO groups of N-acetylcaprolactam are reduced by SmI2, whereas the CO group of ε-caprolactam is not reduced. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2-Phenylisoindolin-1-one (cas: 5388-42-1Category: indole-building-block).
2-Phenylisoindolin-1-one (cas: 5388-42-1) belongs to indole derivatives. Indole, also called Benzopyrrole, a heterocyclic organic compound occurring in some flower oils, such as jasmine and orange blossom, in coal tar, and in fecal matter.Indole was synthesized in moderate yield via an o-naphthoquinone catalyzed tandem cross-coupling of substituted aniline and benzylamine under aerobic oxidation conditions.Category: indole-building-block
