摘要

A new method to prepare 3,3-disubstituted phthalides [isobenzofuran-1(3H)-ones] from alpha-substituted 2-bromostyrenes has been developed. The reaction of alpha-substituted 2-lithiostyrenes, generated in situ by bromine-lithium exchange between alpha-substituted 2-bromostyrenes and butyllithium, with carbon dioxide gave the corresponding lithium 2-vinylbenzoates, which upon treatment with concentrated hydrochloric acid afforded the desired products in one pot.
