1H-Isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione, 2-(2-bromoethyl)- → 2-(2-(6-(2-Fluorophenyl)pyridin-3-yloxy)ethyl)isoindole-1,3-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

500 mg (2.64 mmol) of 6-(2-fluorophenyl)pyridin-3-ol (prepared from 2-bromo-5-nitropyridine and 2-fluorophenylboronic acid; the nitro group was converted into the hydroxy group according to the method described in WO 98/25920), 730.6 mg (5.28 mmol) of potassium carbonate and 738.6 mg (2.91 mmol) of 2-(2-bromoethyl)-isoindole-1,3-dione in 10 ml of DMF were stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The solvent was removed by evaporation and the residue treated with ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was evaporated and the residue purified by chromatography. Yield: 189 mg.
