Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2 (1.96 g, 8.86 mmol), K2CO3 (2.82 g, 17.72 mmol) and acetone (100 mL) was added 2-(4-iodobutyl)-3a,7a-dihydroisoindole-1,3-dione (2.93 g, 8.86 mmol). The newly formed suspension was stirred at ambient temperature for 48 hours. The solid was vacuum filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under vacuum. The resulting residue was subjected to column chromatography eluting with 0-100% ethyl acetate in hexanes to afford the desired product 3 (0.63 g, 40%) as a white solid: 1H NMR (500 MHz; CDCl3) δ 1.16-1.28 (m, 3H), 1.65 (m, 2H), 1.60-1.72 (m, 4H), 1.86 (m, 2H), 2.26 (t, 2H), 2.32 (t, 2H), 2.88 (d, 2H) 3.64 (s, 3H), 3.70 (t, 2H), 7.68 (d, 2H), 7.72 (d, 2H).
