Procedure

A mixture of 62.00 g 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3,3a-dihydro-8H-pyrazolo[5,1-a]isoindol-8-one, 1100 ml of benzene, and 27.2 g. of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone was heated under reflux for 2 hours under nitrogen atmosphere. A further 27.2 g of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone was added, and the heating was continued for a total of 8 hours. After cooling to 25°, the solid residue was filtered off, and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness under vacuum. The combined solids from the filter and evaporation flask were stirred mechanically for 1 hour with a mixture of 20 g of 85% potassium hydroxide and 1500 g of water. The mixture was filtered, the yellow solid was washed successively with 2 × 500-ml of 5% sodium bicarbonate, 2 × 500-ml of water, and air-dried. The yellow residue was recrystallized from 3000 ml of acetone to yield 55 g (80%) of 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyrazolo[ 5,1-a]isoindol-8-one, mp 180-181°.
