One-pot synthesis of 3-methylphthalimide was achieved from 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene. The starting compound was oxidized in two steps to produce methylphthalic acids. The o-isomer was converted into its anhydride, which was subjected to thermal reaction with urea to form 3-methylphthalimide. The product was identical with the reported oxidation product of sedimentary porphyrins.
