Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 3-bromo-2-(bromomethyl)benzoate (27 mmol) in THF (100 mmol) was added ammonium hydroxide (9 mL) dropwise at rt. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir overnight and then diluted with 30 mL of water. The solution was extracted with DCM, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give 4-bromoisoindolin-1-one (5.20 g, 91%).
