Kinetics and mechanism of formation and hydrolysis of 3-iminoisoindolin-1-one and related studies
Abstract
The kinetics of the cyclisation of o-cyanobenzamide to give 3-iminoisoindolin-1-one in aqueous solution have been studied, and the mechanism of alkaline hydrolysis of this compound has been compared with that of phthalimide and N-methylphthalimide.
