Procedure

As shown in step 4-iii of Scheme 4, a mixture of 2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1-propanol (1.31 g, 7.08 mmol), phthalimide (1.09 g, 7.44 mmol), and PPh3 resin (3.43 g, 10.6 mmol) was stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow the resin to swell. Diisopropylazodicarboxylate (2.29 g, 2.24 mL, 10.6 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through diatomaceous earth, which was subsequently washed with EtOAc and DCM. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by medium pressure chromatography on silica gel (10 to 20% EtOAc in hexanes) to give 2-(2-(2-methoxyphenyl)propyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione as a clear, colorless oil (Compound 2010, 2.15 g, quantitative yield): 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.81 (dd, J=5.5, 3.0 Hz, 2H), 7.69 (dd, J=5.5, 3.0 Hz, 2H), 7.34-7.24 (m, 1H), 7.19 (ddd, J=8.1, 7.5, 1.7 Hz, 1H), 6.94 (td, J=7.5, 1.1 Hz, 1H), 6.76 (dd, J=8.2, 0.9 Hz, 1H), 4.03-3.69 (m, 3H), 3.66 (s, 3H), 1.32 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 3H).
