The unprecedented transformation of a wide range of synthetically appealing phthalimides into amides in a single-step operation has been achieved in high yields and short reaction times using a ruthenium catalyst. Mechanistic studies revealed a unique, homogeneous pathway involving five-membered ring opening and CO2 release with water being the source of protons.

meso-Cyclic imides are monohydrogenated to form the corresponding hydroxy lactams in 88-97% ee using trans-[Ru((R)-BINAP)(H)2((R,R)-dpen)] and related compounds as catalysts with base in THF. The hydrogenation proceeds with high enantiogroup-and chemoselectivity, and it is a desymmetrization reaction, forming up to five stereogenic centers in one reaction. Conversion of a hydroxy lactam into the corresponding iminium ion followed by addition of indene extended the number of stereogenic centers from 5 to 7.

Various cyclic meso-imides have been desymmetrised via enantioselective reduction using two chiral oxazaborolidine catalysts derived from (1R,2S)-cis-1-amino-indan-2-ol followed by the reduction of the hydroxylactam product to give the γ-lactam. The enant

Full details of the enantioselective reduction of cyclic meso-imides catalysed by an enantiopure oxazaborolidine derived from (S)-α,α-diphenylprolinol are reported. Treatment of the imides with borane in the presence of the catalyst led to a mixture of cis- and trans-hydroxylactams and, after subsequent ethanolysis, to the corresponding diastereomerically pure trans-ethoxylactams. The enantiomeric excesses were shown to be 68-94% by HPLC-determination. One example, in which the ethoxylactam was converted into the benzenesulfonyllactam, could be crystallized to >99% enantiomeric purity.
Microwave Irradiation Promoted Reactions of Anhydrides with Isocyanates. Preparation of N-Substituted Phthalimides

The synthesis of N-substituted phthalimides by the condensation of anhydrides and isocyanates was conducted efficiently in a few minutes in unmodified commercial microwave ovens using unsealed vessels.
