Abstract
Since the first reports of the reaction of imines and cyclic anhydrides by Castagnoli and Cushman, this procedure has been applied to the synthesis of a variety of lactams, some of them with important synthetic or biological interest. The scope of the reaction has been extended to the use of various Schiff bases and anhydrides as well as to different types of precursors for these reagents. In recent years, important advances have been made in understanding the mechanism of the reaction, which has historically been quite controversial. This has helped to develop reaction conditions that lead to pure diastereomers and even homochiral products. In addition, these mechanistic studies have also led to the development of new multicomponent versions of the Castagnoli–Cushman reaction that allow products with more diverse and complex molecular structures to be easily obtained.

Abstract
The amidation reaction of a tetrahydroisoquinolin-1-one-4-carboxylic acid is a key step in the multi-kilogram-scale preparation of the antimalarial drug SJ733, now in phase 2 clinical trials. In the course of investigating THIQ carboxamidations, we found that propanephosphonic acid anhydride (T3P) is an effective reagent, although the yield and byproducts vary with the nature and quantity of the base. As a control, the T3P reaction of a 3-(2-thienyl) THIQ was performed in the absence of the amine, and the products were characterized: among them are three dimeric allenes and two dimeric lactones. A nucleophile-promoted ketene dimerization process subject to subtle steric and stereoelectronic effects accounts for their formation. Two novel monomeric products, a decarboxylated isoquinolone and a purple, fused aryl ketone, were also isolated, and mechanisms for their formation from the ketene intermediate are proposed.

Abstract
The keto-enol tautomerisation in homophthalic anhydride (HA) is investigated in the ground (S0) and excited (S1) electronic states. The keto form with a dicarbonyl structure is found to be the most stable form in S0 and enol form with a monocarbonyl structure in S1 indicating an excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process. The computed results show consistency with the change in basis sets and methods of calculations. Apart from the two tautomers, transition states are also identified. The barrier to interconversion is found to reduce substantially in S1. Internal reaction coordinate (IRC) calculations confirm the pathway of interconversion between the two forms in S0 and S1. The observed FT-IR spectra corroborate well with our computed spectra. The appearance of two strong lines around 1800 cm-1 confirms the lowest energy structure to be the keto tautomer with a dicarbonyl form in S0. Our computations corroborate well with the crystal structure data for an analogous molecule. Electron distribution in HOMO and LUMO indicate the excitation process as π → π* in nature. The qualitative chemical concepts like hardness and electrophilicity are calculated to estimate the stability of the tautomers. The energy and hardness profiles with the variation of IRC are opposite to each other, verifying the principle of maximum hardness.

Abstract
Homophthalic anhydride (HPA) typically reacts rapidly with benzalimines to afford the formal [4+2] adduct, a 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-1-one-4-carboxylic acid. The stereochemical outcome of this reaction is consistent with an open transition state comprising an iminium species and enolized HPA, leading to a short-lived amino-anhydride intermediate. In the case of N-tert-butylbenzalimine, this Mannich-type intermediate, which would normally cyclize at low temperature to a single isomer of the delta-lactam, is intercepted by base treatment to afford beta-lactam products. A pathway featuring ketene formation followed by ring closure is implicated.

Abstract
A series of 15 benzene-fused hexahydropyrrolo[1,2-b]isoquinolonic acids with substantial degree of steric encumbrance has been prepared via a novel variant of the Castagnoli–Cushman reaction of homophthalic anhydride (HPA) and various indolenines. The employment of a special kind of a cyclic imine component reaction allowed, for the first time, isolating a Mannich-type adduct between HPA and an imine component which has been postulated but never obtained in similar reactions.
