Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Benzyloxy-5-hydroxy-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3-dione (1.1 g, 3.5 mmol) and 2-bromopropionic acid (1.2 g, 7.8 mmol) were reacted in acetone (300 mL) in presence of potassium carbonate (2.3 g, 5.1 mmol) and potassium iodide (0.1 g, 0.6 mmol), following the procedure of Example 22 to give 1.1 g of 2-benzyloxy-5-(2-carboxy-ethoxy)-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3-dione. The hydrogenation of 2-benzyloxy-5-(2-carboxy-ethoxy)-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3-dione (1.1 g) in the presence of 10% Pd/C (0.5 g) in DMA (20 mL) afforded 0.3 g of the title compound, mp 236-239° C.;
