Procedure

A stirred mixture of 7-amino-2-[(1S)-1-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(methylsulfonyl)ethyl]isoindolin-1-one (1.7 g, 4.2 mmol) and cyclopropane carbonyl chloride (0.46 mL, 5.1 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was heated to reflux for 15 min. To the mixture was added methanol (4 mL) at room temperature and the mixture stirred for 10 min. The solvent was removed in vacuo to give an oil. The oil was recrystallized from ethanol (20 mL) to give cyclopropyl-N-{2-[(1S)-1-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(methylsulfonyl)ethyl]-3-oxoisoindolin-4-yl}carboxamide as a white solid (1.4 g, 71% yield); mp, 172-174° C.; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 0.86-0.93 (m, 2H, 2CHH), 1.07-1.14 (m, 2H, 2CHH), 1.46 (t, J=6.9 Hz, 3H, CH3), 1.63-1.73 (m, 1H, CH), 2.95 (s, 3H, CH3), 3.68 (dd, J=4.4, 14.3 Hz, 1H, CHH), 3.86 (s, 3H, CH3), 4.07 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H, CH2), 4.20 (d, J=16.7 Hz, 1H, CHH), 4.21 (dd, J=9.9, 14.3 Hz, 1H, CHH), 4.44 (d, J=16.7 Hz, 1H, CHH), 5.73 (dd, J=4.3, 9.9 Hz, 1H, NCH), 6.84-7.02 (m, 4H, Ar), 7.44 (t, J=7.8 Hz, 1H, Ar), 8.43 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H, Ar), 10.46 (s, 1H, NH); 13C NMR (CDCl3) δ 8.24, 14.61, 16.10, 41.43, 47.81, 51.55, 55.75, 55.88, 64.56, 111.46, 112.09, 116.69, 116.99, 117.76, 119.17, 129.27, 133.54, 138.06, 141.22, 148.84, 149.67, 169.96, 172.59; Anal Calcd for C24H28N2O6S: C, 61.00; H, 5.97; N, 5.93.
