We report a unique and expeditious route to synthesize 1-isochromanone derivatives through palladium catalyzed tandem Heck coupling/6-endo hydroacyloxylation cyclization between readily available ortho-halogenated benzoates and unactivated alkenes. Various 2-bromo or 2-iodo benzoates can be coupled efficiently with a broad range of alkenes to afford functionalized 1-isochromanones in high yields. Significantly, this cost-efficient and easy-to-handle synthetic methodology will have great prospect application in the synthetic and medicinal chemistry. (Figure presented.).

Simple arenes, substituted benzylic and β-phenylethyl alcohols, benzoic acid, phenylacetic acid, benzamide, acetanilide, phenylurea, and benzophenone have been thallated under variety of reaction conditions with thallium(III) trifluoroacetate and subsequently carbonylated with 19percent PdCl2, 2 equiv of LiCl, and MgO in either methanol or tetrahydrofuran under 1 atm of carbon monoxide to give aromatic esters, substituted phthalides and 3,4-dihydroisocoumarins, phthalic and homophthalic anhydride, phthalimide, and the ortho-substituted methyl esters of acetanilide, phenylurea, and benzophenone, respectively.The scope and limitations of this approach to aromatic carbonyl compounds are examined.
