Participants

Reaction Steps

2-cyclopropyl-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)isoindolin-1-one (1A5) (0.08 mmol, 26.4 mg), 3-(4-bromobenzyl)-1-methylimidazolidine-2,4-dione (3D3) (0.08 mmol, 25.0 mg), tris(dibenzylidineacetone)dipalladium (0.004 mmol, 4.12 mg), tricyclohexylphosphine (0.096 mmol, 3.1 mg) and potassium phosphate (0.16 mmol, 39.0 mg) were suspended in dioxane (1 ml) and water (0.5 ml) and heated at 120° C. in the microwave for 20 min. The reaction was diluted with DCM (2 ml) and water (2 ml) then passed through a hydrophobic fritted tube. The organic phase was concentrated and the residue purified on basic HPLC to give 3-(4-(2-cyclopropyl-1-oxoisoindolin-5-yl)benzyl)-1-methylimidazoline-2,4-dione (Example 3a) (685 mg, 55%) 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.87 (d, 1H) 7.64 (d, 1H) 7.57-7.50 (m, 5H) 4.71 (s, 2H) 4.37 (s, 2H) 3.89 (s, 2H) 3.01 (s, 3H) 2.95 (m, 1H) 0.95-0.88 (m, 4H) LCMS m/z (M+H) 376.0.
