Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-(6-iodo-benzofuran-3-yl)-ethylamine (2.00 g, 6.97 mmol) and 2-(2-oxo-propyl)-isoindole-1,3-dione (4.25 g, 20.9 mmol) was added trifluoroacetic acid (8.00 mL, 104 mmol) and then heated at 80° C. After 16 h, additional ketone (3 eq) was added and heating continued. After a total of 3 days, the reaction mixture was basified (DCM-aq. NaHCO3) and the resulting precipitate was filtered, rinsed with DCM and dried to give an off-white solid. mp 302-304° C. dec.; MS m/z 473 [M+H]+.
