Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-bromomethyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (1.13 g, 4.9 mmol), 3-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-propylamine (1 g, 4.9 mmol), and K2CO3 (1.13 g, 8.17 mmol) in toluene (10 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-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-propyl]-2,3-dihydro-isoindol-1-one (0.658 g, 49%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm) 2.02 (m, 2H), 2.76 (t, 2H), 3.69 (t, 2H), 4.36 (s, 2H), 7.36-7.56 (m, 7H), 7.84 (d, 1H). GC-MS: m/z 319 (M)+.
