Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-bromomethyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (0.230 g, 1 mmol), C-cyclohexyl-methylamine (0.190 g, 1 mmol), and K2CO3 (0.230 g, 1.67 mmol) in toluene (6 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-cyclohexylmethyl-2,3-dihydro-isoindol-1-one (0.085 g, 37%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm) 1.18 (m, 5H), 1.72 (m, 6H), 3.46 (d, 2H), 4.38 (s, 2H) 7.42-7.53 (m, 3H), 7.85 (d, 1H). GC-MS: m/z 229 (M)+.
