  • Description: <jats:p>The synthesis of various 3-arylmethylene-2,3-dihydro-1<jats:italic>H</jats:italic>-isoindolin-1-ones was realized following a simple three-step process. The protocol utilized the photodecarboxylative addition of readily available carboxylates to <jats:italic>N</jats:italic>-(bromoalkyl)phthalimides as a versatile and efficient key step. The initially obtained hydroxyphthalimidines were readily converted to the desired <jats:italic>N</jats:italic>-diaminoalkylated 3-arylmethylene-2,3-dihydro-1<jats:italic>H</jats:italic>-isoindolin-1-ones via acid-catalyzed dehydration and subsequent nucleophilic substitution with the corresponding secondary amines. The procedure was successfully applied to the synthesis of known local anesthetics (AL-12, AL-12B and AL-5) in their neutral forms.</jats:p>
