Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-(bromomethyl)-3-methoxy-4-nitrobenzoate (300 mg, 1.0 mmol) in MeOH (10 mL) was added Et3N (120 mg, 1.2 mmol) and CH3NH2 (1.0 mL, 4M in MeOH). The solution was stirred at 70° C. for 4 h. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo, and the residue was purified by silica gel-column (eluting with PE/EA=10:1) to afford 4-methoxy-2-methyl-5-nitroisoindolin-1-one as a yellow solid (110 mg, yield 50%). m/z (ES+APCI)+: [M+H]+223.1.
