Abstract
Abstract The reaction of 1-bromo-2-(1-isothiocyanatoalkyl)benzenes, which are easily derived from 2-bromophenyl ketones or (2-bromophenyl)methanamine, with butyllithium generates 1-(1-isothiocyanatoalkyl)-2-lithiobenzenes, which immediately underwent intramolecular cyclization to give rise to the corresponding 3-substituted and 3,3-disubstituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1-thiones in good yields.
