Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-iodo-2-(4-trifluoromethoxy-benzyl)-5-difluoromethoxy-2,3-dihydro-isoindolone (0.125 g, 0.25 mmol), PdCl2(dppf)2 (0.009 g, 0.012 mmol), zinc (0.002 g, 0.03 mmol), zinc cyanide (0.035 g, 0.3 mmol) and DMF (3 mL) was stirred at 150° C. for 1 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, dissolved in ethyl acetate (50 mL) and washed with water. Combined organic layer was dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated. Silica gel column chromatography using 10:1 hexane-ethyl acetate afforded 6-difluoromethoxy-3-oxo-2-(4-trifluoromethoxy-benzyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-4-carbonitrile (0.02 g, 20%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm) 4.32 (s, 2H), 4.80 (s, 2H), 6.60 (t, 1H), 6.87 (s, 1H), 7.21 (d, 2H), 7.37 (d, 2H), 7.42 (s, 1H), 7.53 (s, 1H). GC-MS: m/z 398 (M)+, 313 (M−85)+
