2-(2,6-Dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-5-nitro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione → 1,3-dioxo-2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-5-aminoisoindoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1,3-dioxo-2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-5-nitroisoindoline {alternatively named as N-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-4-nitrophthalimide} (1 g, 3.3 mmol) and 10% Pd/C (0.13 g) in 1,4-dioxane (200 mL) was hydrogenated at 50 psi for 6.5 hours. The catalyst was filtered through Celite and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo. The residue was crystallized from ethyl acetate (20 mL) to give 0.62 g (69%) of 1,3-dioxo-2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-5-aminoisoindoline {alternatively named as N-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-4-aminophthalimide} as an orange solid. Recrystallization from dioxane/ethyl acetate gave 0.32 g of yellow solid: mp 3.18.5–320.5° C.; HPLC (nova Pak C18, 15/85 acetonitrile/0.1% H3PO4) 3.97 min (98.22%): 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 11.08(s, 1H), 7.53–7.50 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 6.94(s, 1H), 6.84–6.81(d, J=8.3 Hz,1H), 6.55(s,2H), 5.05–4.98(m, 1H), 2.87–1.99(m, 4H); 13C NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 172.79, 170.16, 167.65, 167.14, 155.23, 134.21, 125.22, 116.92, 116.17, 107.05, 48.58, 30.97, 22.22; Anal. Calcd for C13H11N3O4: C, 57.14; H, 4.06; N, 15.38. Found: C, 56.52-H, 4.17; N, 14.60.
