Raise the reaction temperature to 25° C. after 2 hours and allow it to stir for an additional 2 hours before cooling the reaction mixture to 0° C. again. Quench the reaction by adding 125 mL of ice water dropwise. Extract the reaction mixture with EtOAc (2×). Dry the organic layer with MgSO4 and remove the solvent in vacuo to yield 3.7 g of N-thioacetyl-isoindole-1,3-dione as a crude reddish solid.
