Reaction Steps

Into a 500-mL 3-necked round-bottom flask purged and maintained with an inert atmosphere of nitrogen, was placed 4-[(1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-2-yl)methyl]benzoic acid (15.7 g, 55.82 mmol, 1.00 equiv), dichloromethane (200 mL), oxalic dichloride (10.56 g, 83.20 mmol, 1.49 equiv) and dimethylforamide (cat.). The resulting solution was stirred for 2 h at 25° C. The resulting mixture was concentrated under vacuum. This resulted in 16.7 g (crude) of 4-[(1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-2-yl)methyl]benzoyl chloride as a white solid. Rf: 0.30 (in ethyl acetate:petroleum ether=1:5).
