Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5,7-dichloro-2-(4-bromo-benzyl)-2,3-dihydro-isoindol-1-one (0.148 g, 0.4 mmol), palladium(II) acetate (0.004 g, 0.02 mmol), rac-2-(di-t-butylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (0.009 g, 0.025 mmol), and cesium carbonate (0.228 g, 0.7 mmol) in toluene (5 mL) was treated with 2,2,2-trifluoro ethanol (0.082 μL, 0.8 mmol) and stirred at 110° C. for 12 h. After this time the solvent was evaporated and silica gel column chromatography using, typically 30% ethyl acetate in hexane, afforded the desired product (0.110 g, 64%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm) 4.02 (s, 2H), 4.53 (m, 4H), 6.86 (s, 1H), 6.91 (s, 1H), 6.93 (d, 2H), 7.37 (d, 2H). GC-MS: m/z 435 (M)+.
