Reaction Steps

A mixture of compound 4-fluorobenzaldehyde (248 mg, 2 mmol) and (E)-4-((1-methyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyleneamino)isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one (482 mg, 2 mmol) in ethyl propionate (10 mL) was cooled to 0° C. Then a solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol (sodium (184 mg, 8 mmol) in ethanol (5 mL)) was added dropwise. After the addition, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 hr. The mixture was quenched with water (20 mL) and solvent was removed in vacuum. The residue was dissolved in water and extracted with ethyl acetate three times, washed with water and brine, and then concentrated to give the crude product, which was purified by column chromatography to obtain a yellow solid (200 mg, yield 25%). LC-MS (ESI) m/z: 394 (M+1)+.
