Procedure

A solution of 2-bromomethyl-5-fluoro-6-iodo-benzoic acid methyl ester (0.373 g, 1.0 mmol), in THF (4 mL) was treated with 30% aq. Ammonium hydroxide (0.256 mL, 2.2 mmol) and heated with stirring at 100° C. for 2 h. After this time, the resulting mixture was concentrated. Silica gel column chromatography using 30% ethyl acetate in hexane afforded 6-fluoro-7-iodo-2,3-dihydro-isoindol-1-one (0.070 g, 25%). GC-MS: m/z 277 (M)+, 249 (M−28)+.
