Participants

Reaction Steps

In a similar manner to Step 3 of Example 16, 4-chloro-5-methoxy-3-hydroxy-2-(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)isoindolinone (300 mg, 0.904 mmol) was dissolved in THF (12 mL), and the solution was treated with TMEDA (0.30 mL, 2.0 mmol), sec-butyl lithium-hexane solution (1.01 mol/L, 2.0 mL, 2.0 mmol) and iodine (275 mg, 1.08 mmol), followed by purification by slurry using diisopropylether and hexane to obtain 4-chloro-5-methoxy-3-hydroxy-7-iodo-2-(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)isoindolinone (350 mg, yield 85%).
