摘要

A new three-component reaction among o-phthalaldehyde, N-alkyl/aryl Substituted urea, and an aromatic aldehyde has been developed at ambient condition, and a class of isoindolinones with novel C-3 Substitution were conveniently synthesized. The general diastereomeric excess is high as over 99% of the products indicated the excellent stereoselectivity posed in this multicomponent reaction.
