A naturally occurring isoquinolinone alkaloid marinamide and its methyl ester were synthesised from phthalic anhydride over eight steps in 46% and 52% overall yield. The key intermediate methyl 2-(1-benzyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carbonyl) benzoate was synthesised from the acid chloride of mono methyl phthalate and 1-benzyl-1H-pyrrole catalysed by Zinc oxide under solvent-free conditions at room temperature.

The synthesis of pyrroloisoquinolinediones from phthalic anhydride and pyrrolylmagnesium halides has been improved.A new synthesis, by cyclization of the novel 1-(2-carboxybenzoyl)pyrroles, was generally preferable.From pyrrolylmagnesium bromide and dimethylmaleic anhydride, followed by cyclization, 6,7-dimethylindolizine-5,8-dione was obtained.The process failed with maleic anhydride.Pyrroloisoquinoline-5,10-dione could be dinitrated in the pyrrolo ring (with some oxidation to isoquinoline-1,3,4-trione), reduced to 10-hydroxy-3,5-dihydropyrroloisoquinolin-5-one by zinc and acetic acid, and hydrogenated over palladium on carbon to 10-hydroxy-1,2,3,5-tetrahydropyrroloisoquinolin-5-one.The dihydro derivative reverted in air to the dione.
