Reaction Steps

(+)-5,6-Dimethoxy-2-[2,2,4,6,7-pentamethyl-3-(4-methylphenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-5-yl]isoindoline (296 mg, 0.65 mmol) was dissolved in ethyl acetate (5.0 ml) and then a 4 N solution of hydrogen chloride in ethyl acetate (0.38 ml) was added into this mixture. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was crystallized from a mixed solution of ethyl acetate and diethyl ether (1:5). The crystals were collected by filtration and washed with a cold mixed solution of ethyl acetate and diethyl ether (1:5) to obtain 291 mg (87% yield) of the titled compound as a crystalline product. Melting point: 170-171° C. [α]D=+44.9° (c=0.495, chloroform).
