Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(2,4-dimethoxy-benzyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester (215 mg) and anisole (200 μl) in 1 ml of TFA was heated at 140° C. for 30 minutes in a CEM discover microwave synthesiser. The reaction was partitioned between water and DCM, the water layer was separated, washed with DCM then evaporated and re-evaporated with toluene/MeOH (×2) to give 105 mg of the title compound. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) 9.70 (2H, br s), 8.02 (1H, s), 8.98 (1H, d), 7.57 (1H, d), 4.60 (2H, s), 4.56 (2H, s), 3.89 (3H, s).
