Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-methylhomophthalimide (4.05 kg), 1,2-dibromoethane (2.39 L), and Bu4NHSO4 (785 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (32 L) were added K2CO3 (6.39 kg) and N,N-dimethylformamide (8.5 L) at room temperature. Then the solution was heated to 70° C., and was stirred for 2 hours at 68˜70° C. After cooling the reaction mixture to 40° C., water (81 L) was added. After the slurry was stirred for 1 hour at 40° C., it was allowed to cool to room temperature and was stirred overnight. The suspension was filtered, and the obtained wet crystal was washed with the mixture of N,N-dimethylformamide and water (N,N-dimethylformamide:water=1:1, 20 L), twice, and water (20 L), sequentially. It was dried at room temperature under N2 flow for several hours and then under the reduced pressure overnight to afford the title compound as pale pink crystal (4.67 kg, 4.30 kg assay, 92% yield).
