1H-Isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione, 2-ethenyl- → 2-{(E)-2-[3-amino-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]vinyl}-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a degassed solution of 3-bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (1.00 g, 4.17 mmol) and ACN (40 mL) was added Pd(OAc)2 (0.46 g, 0.20 mmol), bis(2-methylphenyl)(3-methylphenyl)phosphine (0.13 g, 0.40 mmol), and TEA (1.15 mL, 8.25 mmol). After stirring for 1 h, 2-vinyl-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (0.72 g, 4.17 mmol) was added. The solution was heated at reflux for 20 h and then allowed to cool to rt and filtered through Celite. The filtrate was washed with water and brine. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography to yield the title compound as a yellow solid (0.90 g, 62%). LCMS: (FA) ES+ 333.2 (M+1).
