Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-chloro-6-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-isoindol-1-one (500 mg, 2.72 mmol), 2-iodopropane (556 mg, 3.27 mmol), and cesium carbonate (1.33 mg, 4.08 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was stirred at 80° C. overnight. The solution was cooled to room temperature and the reaction mixture partitioned between ethyl acetate (50 mL) and water (50 mL). The organic phase was separated, washed with water (50 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, heptanes/EtOAc) to give 7-chloro-6-isopropoxy-2,3-dihydro-isoindol-1-one (133a, 300 mg, 65% yield) as a solid.
