11.5 g of ethoxycarbonylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane are added to a suspension of 4.5 g of 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-2,3-dihydroisoindol-1-one in 110 cm3 of toluene. The reaction mixture is refluxed with stirring for 16 hours and then cooled to a temperature in the region of 20° C. The mixture is then concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure (2 kPa) at a temperature in the region of 40° C. The residual oil is taken up in 50 cm3 of diethyl ether. The precipitate formed is filtered off and then washed twice with 10 cm3 of diethyl ether. The filtrate is concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure (2 kPa) at a temperature in the region of 40° C. to give an orange-colored oil, which is purified by chromatography under argon pressure (60 kPa) on a column of silica gel (particle size 20-45 μm), eluting with successive mixtures of cyclohexane/ethyl acetate (70/30, 65/35, 60/40 by volume). The fractions comprising the expected product are combined and concentrated under reduced pressure (2 kPa) at a temperature in the region of 30° C. 4.1 g of ethyl (2-methyl-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-1-yl)acetate are thus obtained in the form of a yellow oil. (Rf=0.25, thin layer chromatography on silica gel, eluent: cyclohexane/ethyl acetate (50/50 by volume)).
