The mixture was then treated within 40 minutes with 1.28 1 of saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, the organic phase was separated and washed with 1.28 1 of water. After drying over sodium sulphate the organic phase was filtered and evaporated. The residue was taken up in 1.3 1 of diethyl ether, whereupon it was stirred at room temperature for about 30 minutes. After removing insoluble material by filtration the filtrate was evaporated. There was obtained 110.5 g of 1-ethoxy-6-chloro-3H-isoindole with a m.p. of 64°-66°.
