Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-bromomethyl-6-iodo-benzoic acid methyl ester (0.107 g, 0.3 mmol), 1-methyl 3-phenyl-propylamine (0.065 g, 0.4 mmol), and K2CO3 (0.083 g, 0.6 mmol) in toluene (5 mL) was heated with stirring at 100° C. for 2 h. Workup and silica gel column chromatography using 30% ethyl acetate in hexane afforded 7-iodo-2-(1-methyl-3-phenyl-propyl)-2,3-dihydro-isoindol-1-one (0.098 g, 84%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm) 1.32 (d, 3H), 1.94 (m, 2H), 2.54-2.78 (m, 2H), 4.21 (dd, 2H), 4.64 (q, 1H), 7.12-7.24 (m, 6H), 7.41 (d, 1H), 7.88 (d, 1H). GC-MS: m/z 391 (M)+.
