Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-bromo-2-bromomethyl-6-chloro-benzoic acid methyl ester (0.409 g, 1.2 mmol), 1-(4-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-ethyl-amine (0.288 g, 10.4 mmol), and K2CO3 (0.331 g, 2.4 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 5-Bromo-7-chloro-2-[1-(4-trifluoromethoxy-phenyl)-ethyl]-2,3-dihydro-isoindol-1-one (0.202 g, 39%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm) 1.67 (d, 3H), 3.96 (d, 1H), 4.20 (d, 1H), 5.77 (q, 1H) 7.21 (d, 2H), 7.41 (m, 3H), 7.58 (s, 1H). GC-MS: m/z 434 (M)+, 420 (M−14)+.
