Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-cyano-benzyl amine hydrochloride (0.218 g, 5.0 mmol), 2-bromomethyl-5-fluoro-6-iodo-benzoic acid methyl ester (0.373 g, 1.0 mmol), and K2CO3 (0.276 g, 2 mmol) in toluene (4 mL) was heated with stirring at 100° C. for 2 h. The resulting mixture was filtered and concentrated. Silica gel column chromatography using 30% ethyl acetate in hexane afforded 6-fluoro-7-iodo-2-(4-cyano-benzyl)-2,3-dihydro-isoindol-1-one (0.100 g, 26%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm) 4.19 (s, 2H), 4.84 (s, 2H), 7.22-7.68 (m, 6H). GC-MS: m/z 392 (M)+.
