AbstractTreatment of isoindolin‐1,3‐dione (1) with formalin and the appropriate amine or diamine afforded new N‐Mannich bases and bis‐(Mannich bases) 2 to 6. The use of the appropriate hydrazide or dihydrazide as the amine component in the Mannich reaction with 1 led to Mannich bases and bis‐(Mannich bases) incorporating a hydrazide moiety. The synthetic potential of sec‐Mannich bases as precursors in synthesis of hybrid Mannich bases incorporating 1 was described. The N‐alkylation of 1 with ketonic Mannich bases was investigated.
