Reaction Steps

To an ice-cold solution of NaH (0.505 g, 12.6 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) 5-methyl-pyrrolidin-2-one (1.0 g, 10.1 mmol) in DMF (10.0 mL) was added slowly. This was stirred for 30 min at 0-25° C. 2-(3-Bromo-propyl)-isoindole-1,3-dione (2.47 g, 9.0 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. A solution of saturated NH4Cl (10.0 mL) was added and extracted with ethyl acetate. Organic layer was washed with LiCl solution and concentrated. The crude was purified on silica gel using CH2Cl2/MeOH (10%) as eluent to give 2-[3-(3-methyl-2-oxo-pyrrolidin-1-yl)-propyl]-isoindole-1,3-dione (1.2 g, 41%).
