An efficient method for the synthesis of 3-hydroxymethyl isoindolinones via cobalt-catalyzed C(sp2)-H carbonylation of phenylglycinol derivatives using picolinamide as a traceless directing group is demonstrated. The reaction proceeds in the presence of a commercially available cobalt(II) tetramethylheptanedionate catalyst and employs DIAD as a "CO" surrogate. This synthetic route offers a broad substrate scope, excellent regioselectivity, and full preservation of the original stereochemistry. Besides, the developed method provides a pathway for accessing valuable enantiopure 3-substituted isoindolinone derivatives.

Reaction of α-substituted α-isocyanoacetates with phenyl vinyl selenones in the presence of a catalytic amount of base (DBU or Et3N, 0.05-0.1 equiv) followed by addition of p-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA, 0.1-0.2 equiv) afforded 4,4,5-trisubstituted 1,3-oxazinan-2-ones in good to excellent yields. Enantiomerically enriched heterocycles can also be prepared using a Cinchona alkaloid-derived bifunctional organocatalyst for the Michael addition step. The phenylselenonyl group served as an activator for the Michael addition, a leaving group and a latent oxidant in this integrated reaction sequence.
