Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-chloro-2-bromomethyl-6-iodo-benzoic acid methyl ester (0.78 g, 2.0 mmol), 4-trifluoromethoxy-benzylamine (0.458 mL, 3.0 mmol), and K2CO3 (0.552 g, 4.0 mmol) in toluene (5 mL) was heated with stirring at 100° C. for 2 h. Workup and silica gel column chromatography of the product using 30% ethyl acetate in hexane afforded 5-chloro-7-iodo-2-(4-trifluoromethoxy-benzyl)-2,3-dihydro-isoindol-1-one (0.356 g, 38%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm) 4.17 (s, 2H), 4.78 (s, 2H) 7.20 (d, 2H), 7.37 (t, 3H), 7.93 (s, 1H). GC-MS: m/z 467 (M)+, 382 (M−85)+.
