Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-(2-fluoro-4-trimethylsilanyl-phenylamino)-1-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester (284 mg, 0.76 mmol) in DCM (5 ml) at 0° C. was added a solution of iodine monochloride (246 mg, 1.52 mmol) in DCM (1.5 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 4 hours. The reaction was quenched by the addition of water (10 mL) then diluted with saturated aqueous sodium thiosulfate solution (10 mL). The resultant mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 mL). The combined organic fractions were washed with brine (20 mL), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The resultant residue was subjected to flash chromatography (SiO2, gradient 0-7% methanol in DCM) to yield the title compound as a brown solid (220 mg, 68%). LCMS (Method B): RT=3.65 min, 2M+H+=853.
