Reaction Steps
To (1S)-7-amino-4-chloro-2-[1-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxy-phenyl)-2-methanesulfonyl-ethyl]-2,3-dihydro-isoindol-1-one (800 mg, 1.82 mmol) was added dimethylcarbamyl chloride (3 ml). The mixture was heated at 100° C. for 20 hrs. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and extracted with water (50 ml) and EtOAc (50 ml). The organic layer was washed with water (50 ml), brine (25 ml), dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The resulted oil was purified by chromatography to give (1S)-3-{7-chloro-2-[1-(3-ethoxy-4-methoxy-phenyl)-2-methanesulfonyl-ethyl]-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-4-yl}-1,1-dimethyl-urea as a white solid (600 mg, 70% yield): mp, 205-207° C.; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.47 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 3H, OCH2CH3), 2.94 (s, 3H, CH3), 3.11 (s, 6H, N(CH3)2), 3.72 (dd, J=5, 15 Hz, 1H, CHHSO2), 3.88 (s, 3H, CH3), 4.05-4.22 (m, 4H, CHHSO2+CHHN+OCH2CH3), 4.40 (d, J=10 Hz, 1H, CHHN), 5.73-5.79 (m, 1H, NCH), 6.86-6.96 (m, 3H, Ar), 7.36 (d, J=9 Hz, 1H, Ar), 8.35 (d, J=9 Hz, 1H, Ar), 9.77 (s, 1H, NHCO); 13C NMR (CDCl3) δ 14.68, 36.27, 41.51, 46.96, 51.47, 55.73, 55.97, 64.64, 111.64, 111.67, 112.28, 118.20, 118.54, 119.31, 120.08, 129.13, 133.24, 138.58, 138.77, 148.94, 149.88, 155.01, 169.72.
