Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

209 mg (0.9 mmol) of 2-[4-(methylamino)butyl]-1H-isoindole-1.3(2H)-dione is solubilized in 5 ml of tetrahydrofuran, then 385 μl (2.7 mmol; 3 equivalents) of triethylamine and 254 mg (0.9 mmol; 1 equivalent) of 2-(4-bromobutyl)-1H-isoindole-1.3(2H)-dione are added to the reaction mixture which is maintained for 25 minutes under microwaves at 165° C. The precipitate obtained is filtered and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure. The expected product is purified by chromatography on a silica column (eluent: dichloromethane/methanol: 95/5).
