A mixture of 74 g (0.5 mole) of phthalic anhydride, 60 g (0.56 mole) of 4-pyridinemethylamine and 200 mL of dimethylformamide was heated under reflux for 2 hours. The cooled mixture was filtered and the solids were washed with ether and dried to give 85.1 g of 2-(4-pyridinylmethyl)-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione, m.p. 164°-165°. Another 24.0 g was obtained by crystallization of the concentrated mother liquors from dimethylformamide. Combined yield: 99.1 g (83%).
