Reaction Steps

Compound 239 was prepared from 9b-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2,3,9b-tetrahydroimidazo[2,1-a]isoindol-5-one using Method L. The tetrahydroimidazoisoindolone was bis-acylated with 4-fluorobenzoyl chloride according to Method H and the resulting phenolic ester function was converted to a phenol by basic hydrolysis. The product was then treated with chloroacetonitrile and K2CO3 in acetone and heated to reflux for 30 h to yield phenyl ether compound 239.
