Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of phthalimide (3.92 g, 26.6 mmol) and potassium carbonate (9.20 g, 66.6 mmol) in acetonitrile (44 ml), was added 4-bromo-1-butene (2.26 ml, 22.2 mmol) at room temperature. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 13 hours. After the reaction complete, the reaction mixture thus obtained was filtered through a plug of Celite. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (2.23 g). The compound was used for the next step without further purification.
