Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-bromomethyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (0.115 g, 0.5 mmol), 3-(3-methoxy-phenyl)-propylamine (0.110 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-[3-(3-methoxy-phenyl)-propyl]-2,3-dihydro-isoindol-1-one (0.088 g, 62%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm) 2.0 (m, 2H), 2.66 (t, 2H), 3.64 (t, 2H), 3.82 (s, 3H), 4.36 (s, 2H), 6.78 (m, 2H), 7.16-7.58 (m, 5H), 7.84 (d, 1H). GC-MS: m/z 281 (M)+.
