Reaction Steps

A mixture of (2-aminoindan-2-yl)methanol (0.407 g, 2.50 mmol) and phthalic anhydride (0.369 g, 2.50 mmol) is heated at 160° C. for 40 minutes. The reaction mixture is poured into water and extracted with chloroform. The organic phase is dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated to afford 2-(2-hydroxymethylindan-2-yl)-isoindole-1,3-dione, MH+294.
