Pyridine → HCID 67045214, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-bromomethyl-6-nitro-benzoic acid methyl ester (0.40 g, 1.46 mmol) and aniline (0.23 g, 2.44 mmol) in ethanol (20 ml) was added with pyridine (0.15 g, 1.95 mmol), and the mixture was refluxed by heating for 30 hours. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, and then poured into ice water, and the deposited crystals were collected by filtration, washed with ethanol and water, and dried. The resulting crystals were recrystallized (acetone) to obtain 7-nitro-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-isoindol-1-one as pale yellow crystals (0.23 g, yield: 62.9%).
