Reaction Steps

Potassium phthalimide (836 mg) was added to a solution of 2-methoxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide (1.01 g) in dimethylformamide (41 ml) and stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes. Water and 2 N HCl were added to the reaction mixture and extraction was performed with ethyl acetate; then, the organic layer was washed successively with a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was washed successively with ethyl acetate and hexane to give 1.2 g of the titled compound (yield, 94%).
