Reaction Steps

37 cm3 of 1.38 molar 2-methoxyphenylmagnesium bromide solution in tetrahydrofuran are added to a solution containing 2.4 g of (3aRS,5RS,7SR,7aRS)-5-acetoxy-2-benzyl-7-methyl-7-phenyl-4-perhydroisoindolone in 50 cm3 of tetrahydrofuran at 4° C. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 18 hours, treated with 150 cm3 of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution, taken up in 100 cm3 of ethyl acetate and washed with 100 cm3 of water and then with 100 cm3 of saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution. The organic phase is separated out after settling has taken place, dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure (2.7 kPa). The residue is chromatographed on a column of Merck silica gel (particle size 0.04-0.06 mm, diameter 4 cm, height 27 cm), eluting under a pressure of 0.5 bar of nitrogen with a mixture of cyclohexane and ethyl acetate (60/40 by volume) and collecting 35 cm3 fractions. Fractions 8 to 15 are combined and then concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure (2.5 kPa). 1.65 g of (3aRS,4RS,5RS,7SR,7aRS)-2-benzyl-7-methyl-7-phenyl-4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4,5-perhydroisoindolediol are obtained in the form of a yellow foam.
