Participants

Reaction Steps

2[1-(4-bromobutyl)]furan (406 mg) and potassium phthalimide (370 mg) were stirred together at room temperature in dry dimethylformamide overnight. The solution was poured into ice-water and the resulting white solid filtered, dried and recrystallised from chloroform/petroleum ether (b.p. 60°-80°) to give 2-[4-(2-Furanyl)butyl]-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione as white microcrystals (430 mg) m.p. 61°-63°.
