Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

700 mg of 3-chloro-2-methylbenzyl chloride was dissolved in 10 mL of acetonitrile, and 829 mg of potassium carbonate and 889 mg of phthalimide potassium were added thereto at room temperature, followed by warming to 80° C., and then continuously reacting overnight. After completion of the reaction, the reaction liquid was left to be cooled, and water was added thereto, followed by extraction with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 1.15 g (yield 100%) of a title compound as a white crystal.
