Reaction Steps

A method for the preparation of 5-cyanophthalide has previously been described in Bull. Soc. Sci. Bretagne, 1951, 26, 35 and in Levy and Stephen, J. Chem. Soc., 1931, 867. By this method 5-aminophthalide is converted to the corresponding 5-cyanophthalide by diazotation followed by reaction with CuCN. 5-Aminophthalide was obtained from 4-aminophthalimide by a two step reduction procedure.
