Participants

Reaction Steps

N,N'-Carbonyldiimidazole (24.3 g) is added to a solution of monobenzyl phenylmalonate (40.5 g) in dry dichloromethane (810 cc), cooled to +5° C. The mixture is stirred for 25 minutes at +5° C. and a solution of (3aRS,7aRS)-7,7-diphenyl-4-perhydroisoindolone hydrochloride (49.1 g) and triethylamine (21 cc) in dichloromethane (1,000 cc) is then added. The reaction mixture is stirred at 20° C. for 16 hours, then washed with distilled water (3×1,000 cc), dried over magnesium sulphate and filtered and the filtrate is concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure (2.7 kPa). The residue is chromatographed on a silica gel column (0.2-0.063 mm, diameter 5.8 cm, height 63 cm), eluting with a mixture of ethyl acetate and cyclohexane (90/10 by volume) and collecting 200 cc fractions. Fractions 14 to 17 are combined and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure (2.7 kPa). The residue is crystallized from isopropyl ether (400 cc); the crystals obtained are drained, washed with isopropyl ether (40 cc) and dried. The crystals obtained (5 g of the 35.6 g) are chromatographed on a silica gel column (0.2-0.063 mm, diameter 4.6 cm, height 30 cm), eluting with a mixture of cyclohexane and ethyl acetate (60/40 by volume) and collecting 100 cc fractions. Fractions 4 to 10 are combined and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure (2.7 kPa); the residue is recrystallized from acetonitrile (5 cc). The crystals obtained are drained, washed with isopropyl ether (5 cc) and dried. (3aRS,7aRS)-2-(2-benzyloxycarbonyl-2-phenylacetyl)-7,7-diphenyl-4-perhydroisoindolone (1.6 g) melting at 210° C. is obtained.
