Reaction of methyl-2-(2-formylphenyl)acetate with primary amines in a reductive amination/cyclisation process resulted in N-substituted 1,4-dihydro-3(2H)-isoquinolinones. With H2NCH2R sodium borohyride is a suitable reductant (11 examples), but H2NCHR1R2 required a transfer hydrogenation using ammonium formate catalysed by palladium on carbon (9 examples). 4-Substituted-1,4-dihydro-3(2H)-isoquinolinones were synthesised by deprotonation (n-butyllithium) and addition of R3CH2Br (12 examples with R3 = alkyl, Ar, CH[dbnd]CH2, C[tbnd]CH). Modest diastereoselectivity was achieved with 1,4-dihydro-3(2H)-isoquinolinones derived from H2NCHMeR2 [R2 = (η5-C5H4)Co(η4-C4Ph4) - max. dr = 1.9 : 1], but use of H2NCHMeFc (Fc = ferrocenyl) provided a new method of 1,4-dihydro-3(2H)-isoquinolinone N-deprotection with formic acid.

2-Substituted homophthalimides 2a-c were reduced regioselectively with sodium borohydride to carbinol-lactam intermediates 3a-c, which were dehydrated, followed by hydrogenation, to give 1-oxotetrahydroisoquinolines or 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)ones 5a-c. The isomeric 3-oxo-tetrahydroisoquinolines or 1,4-dihydroisoquinolin-3(2H)-ones 8a-i were obtained in satisfactory yields via heating 3-isochromanone (6) with the corresponding amines 7a-i in the presence of aluminum chloride.
