Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-bromomethyl-6-iodo-benzoic acid methyl ester (0.708 g, 2.0 mmol), benzylamine (0.218 mL, 2.0 mmol), and K2CO3 (0.69 g, 5.0 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-benzyl-4-iodo-2,3-dihydro-isoindol-1-one (0.325 g, 47%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm) 4.18 (s, 2H), 4.84 (s, 2H), 7.21-7.38 (m, 6H), 7.86 (m, 2H). GC-MS: m/z 349 (M)+, 272 (M−77)+.
