Procedure

A solution of 3-hydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)isoindolin-1-one (12.0 g) and ethoxycarbonylmethylenetriphenylphosphorane (16.0 g) in toluene (200 ml) was refluxed for 3 hours. After cooling, the toluene was distilled off and the residue was dissolved in 100 ml of methanol. A solution of 10 g of potassium carbonate in 70 ml of water was added to the above methanol solution and the mixture was refluxed gently for an hour. After cooling, 200 ml of water and 300 ml of ether were added and the mixture was shaken well. The aqueous layer was separated and acidified with 5N hydrochloric acid to give 12 g of 3-oxo-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)isoindoline-1-acetic acid, which was described in (iv) of Example 2.
