Reaction Steps

Hydrazine (1.1 eq., 0.27 mL, 8.42 mmol) was added to the solution of methyl 3-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoindol-2-yl)-2,2-dimethylpropanoate (0.2 g, 7.66 mmol) in methanol (60 mL) maintained under magnetic stirring at 65° C. After 5 hours the reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, diluted with diethyl ether and filtered. The filtrate was washed thoroughly with diethyl ether. The title compound was obtained after evaporation of the solvents and it was used in the next step without any further purification. (0.8 g, 75% yield).
