The aim of this study is to investigate the transformation of 3-aryl-1H-isochromene-4-carbaldehydes into 4-aroyl- 1H-isochromen-1-ones and 4-aroylisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones. Refluxing 3-aryl-1H-isochromene-4-carbaldehydes in methanol in the presence of hydrochloric acid efficiently afforded 4-aroyl-1H-isochromen-1-one derivatives with high yields (75—84 %). Furthermore, the reaction of both 3-aryl-1H-isochromene-4-carbaldehydes and the synthesized 4-aroyl-1H-isochromen-1-ones with ammonia as an N-nucleophile in methanol or ethanol led exclusively to the formation of 4-aroylisoquinolin-1(2H)-ones with yields up to 89 %. The synthesized compounds demonstrate significant potential for applications in synthetic organic and medicinal chemistry.
