Benzylamine (3.21 g, 30.0 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (25 ml) was added to a stirred mixture of methyl 3,4-bis-(bromomethyl)benzoate (9.66 g, 30.0 mmol) (obtained from Fluorochem) and triethylamine (9 ml, 64.7 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (50 ml) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The solvent was removed in vacuo at 40° C. and the residue partitioned between ethyl acetate (100 ml) and water (100 ml). The organic layer was washed with a further portion of water (100 ml), separated and the solvent removed in vacuo at 40° C. to afford methyl 2-benzyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-5-carboxylate as a pale orange solid that was used immediately without further purification as described below. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) 7.82 (2H, m), 7.40-7.25 (6H, m), 3.90 (3H, s), 3.88 (2H, s), 3.84 (4H, s). MS: [M+H]+ 268.
