Trifluoroacetic acid → 7-Bromo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a similar manner to Step 4 of Example 16, 3-hydroxy-7-bromo-2-(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)isoindolinone (3.00 mg, 0.867 mmol) was dissolved in nitromethane (12 mL), and the solution was treated with trifluoroacetic acid (0.668 mL, 8.67 mmol) and triethylsilane (0.277 mL, 1.73 mmol), followed by purification by preparative thin-layer chromatography (chloroform/methanol=12/1) to obtain 7-bromoisoindolinone (140 mg, yield 76%).
