Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-bromomethyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (0.115 g, 0.5 mmol), 1-methyl-3-phenyl-propylamine (0.090 g, 0.6 mmol), and K2CO3 (0.207 g, 1.5 mmol) in toluene (3 mL) was heated with stirring at 100° C. for 2 h. Workup and silica gel column chromatography using 30% ethyl acetate in hexane afforded 2-(1-methyl-3-phenyl-propyl)-2,3-dihydro-isoindol-1-one (0.072 g, 54%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm) 1.32 (d, 3H), 1.92 (m, 2H), 2.64 (m, 2H), 4.34 (dd, 2H), 4.62 (m, 1H), 7.14-7.58 (m, 8H), 7.89 (d, 1H). GC-MS: m/z 265 (M)+.
