Reaction Steps
A mixture of 4-amino-2-(2,6-dioxo(3-piperidyl))isoindoline-1,3-dione (0.60 g, 2.2 mmol) and cyclopropanecarbonyl chloride (0.4 mL, 4.4 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was heated to reflux for 15 h. To the mixture was added methanol (5 mL). The solvent was removed in vacuo to give a solid. The solid was slurried in ether (30 mL0 for 1 h. The suspension was filtered and washed with ether (30 mL) to give cyclopropanecarboxylic acid [2-(2,6-dioxo-piperidin-3-yl)-1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-4-yl]-amide as a solid (630 mg, 84% yield): mp, 237–239° C.; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 0.87–0.90 (m, 4H, 2CH2), 1.93–2.09 (m, 2H, CH, CHH), 2.49–2.65 (m, 2H, CH2), 2.64–2.96 (m, 1H, CHH), 5.15 (dd, J=5.2, 12.6 Hz, 1H, NCH), 7.61 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1H, Ar), 7.82 (t, J=7.7 Hz, 1H, Ar), 8.41 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H, Ar), 9.99 (s, 1H, NH), 11.16 (s, 1H, NH); 13C NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 8.10, 14.93, 22.00, 30.93, 48.92, 117.07, 118.30, 126.69, 131.49, 135.97, 136.43, 166.67, 167.57, 169.77, 172.55, 172.74; Anal Calcd for C17H15N3O5: C, 59.82; H, 4.43; N, 12.31. Found: C, 59.50; H, 4.39; N, 12.04.
