title: Conversion of oxazolidinediones to isoindoloisoquinolinones via intramolecular Friedel–Crafts reaction.
abstract: Treatment of oxazolidinediones with TiCl4 in CH2Cl2 resulted in conversion to isoindoloisoquinolinones via intramolecular Friedel–Crafts reaction with extrusion of CO2 in the transformation. The alkaloid nuevamine has been synthesized under these conditions in a regiospecific manner.
