Reaction Steps

7a-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)octahydro-1H-isoindol-1-one (65 mg, 0.2287 mmol) was diluted in THF (2 mL) and borane (0.7 mL, 1 M in THF, 3 eq) and heated in the microwave for 15 minutes (max temp=100° C.). After cooling, the mixture was stirred with 6N HCl for thirty minutes and washed with MTBE. The aqueous layer was basicified with KOH and extracted with MTBE. The organic phase was evaporated and filtered (aminopropyl cartridge) to give 3a-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)octahydro-1H-isoindole (15.5 mg, 24%) as a clear oil. A further portion was later found in the organic wash and separated by silica gel filtration to give 19 mg (26%) additional product. LCMS Rt=7.60 min, m/z=270 (M+1). 1H NMR (CDCl3, δ): 7.43 (d, J=2.3 Hz, 1H), 7.37 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.19 (dd, J=2.3, 8.5 Hz, 1H), 3.1 (m, 2H), 2.9 (m, 1H), 2.6 (m, 2H), 2.0-1.2 (m, 8H). 13C NMR (CDCl3, δ, mult): 146.7(0), 132.3(0), 130.1(1), 129.7(0), 128.9(1), 126.2(1H), 59.9(2), 49.6(2), 47.9(0), 41.0(1), 32.8(2), 24.2(2), 22.0(2), 21.4(2).
