Thionyl Chloride → HCID 59824802, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Distilled THF (20 mL) was added to 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-2-propyl-2,3-dihydroisoindol-1-one (200 mg, 0.7 mmol) followed by thionyl chloride (0.06 mL, 0.84 mmol) and a catalytic amount of DMF (3 drops). The mixture was stirred at room temperature under nitrogen for 4 h and monitored by TLC. Removal of the solvent under vacuum gave 3-chloro-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-propyl-2,3-dihydroisoindol-1-one as a colourless oil (212 mg, 0.69 mmol, 100%) which was used immediately without further purification.
