100 g. (0.5 mole) of 1,8-naphthalimide is suspended in 2100 ml. of dimethylformamide and the mixture is heated to 90° to form a complete solution. A solution of 36.3 g. (0.55 mole) of potassium hydroxide (85%) in 100 ml. of methanol is added resulting in the immediate formation of a yellow precipitate. The resulting mixture is stirred for one hour at 90° and cooled to 25°. 245 g.(1.0 mole) of 1,4-dibromobutane is added and the mixture is again heated to 90° and stirred for an additional hour. A precipitate remains in the mixture but is more granular than the initial material. The reaction mixture is cooled and the precipitate filtered off. The solvent is removed under vacuum and the residue is diluted with 500 ml. of hexane immediately precipitating crude 2-(4-bromobutyl)-1H-benz[de] isoquinoline-1,3 (2H)-dione. The precipitate is filtered off, washed with fresh hexane and dried for 2 hours at 50° (0.1 mm.) to yield 2-(4-bromobutyl)-1H-benz[de] isoquinoline-1,3 (2H)-dione. An analytically pure sample is prepared by dissolving the above product in hot 95% ethanol and recrystallizing by allowing the solution to cool to 25°. The resulting precipitate is dried for two hours at 50° (0.1 mm.) to yield pure 2-(4-bromobutyl)-1H-benz[de] isoquinoline-1,3 (2H)-dione, m.p. 113°-115°.
