Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-propylamine (306 mg, 2 mmol), 2-bromomethyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (458 mg, 2 mmol), and K2CO3 (200 mg, 1.45 mmol) in toluene (10 mL) was heated with stirring at 100° C. for 16 h. Workup and silica gel column chromatography using a gradient of hexanes to 50% ethyl acetate in hexanes afforded 2-[3-(4-fluorophenyl)-propyl]-2,3-dihydroisoindol-1-one (432 mg, 80%). GC/MS gave: m/z (rel.int.) 269 (M+, 32), 147 (100), 146 (76), 119 (43), 109 (30) and 91 (39).
