Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A solution of methylamine in ethanol (10 mL, 80 mmol, 8M solution in ethanol) was added to a solution of Methyl 3-Bromo-2-(bromomethyl)benzoate in THF (30 mL). After stirring for 2 h the reaction mixture was concentrated to dryness and water (30 mL) was added with rapid stirring. The solids produced were isolated by filtration and dried to give the desired product was concentrated to dryness and water (30 mL) was added with rapid stirring The solids produced were isolated by filtration dried

Procedure: To a cold suspension of 4-bromo-2-methyl-2,3-dihydroisoindol-1-one (60 g, 265 mmol) in concentrated sulfuric acid (60 mL) was added pre-cooled mixture of conc. nitric acid (12.5 mL, 265 mmol) and conc. sulfuric acid (60 mL) over 20 min. The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min at 0° C. and 2 h at room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured over ice-water mixture (300 mL). The precipitate was filtered, washed with water (3×100 mL) and suspended in isopropanol (200 mL). The slurry was heated on steam bath and cooled. The solid was filtered and dried in air to give 53 g (74%) of the title compound. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ 3.22 (s, 3H), 4.36 (s, 2H), 7.67 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.78 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H). was added pre-cooled The precipitate was filtered washed with water (3×100 mL) The slurry was heated on steam bath cooled The solid was filtered dried in air
