Reaction Steps

2-(4-Chloro-2-fluoro-5-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-isoindole-1,3-dione (3 g) is dissolved in dimethylformamide (100 ml), and anhydrous potassium carbonate (0.8 g) is added thereto. To the resultant mixture is added methyl bromoacetate (1.8 g), and the mixture is heated at 70°-80° C. for 3 hours. After being allowed to cool, water is added to the mixture, which is then extracted with ether, and the extract is washed with water, dried and concentrated. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 1.3 g of 2-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-methoxycarbonylmethoxyphenyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-isoindole-1,3-dione (Compound No. 1). M.P., 98°-99.5° C.
