“…1 H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d 6 ): δ 6.59 (t, J = 0.9 Hz, 2H, Furan (21.82 mL, 300.0 mmol, 1 equivalent) was added to a solution of maleic anhydride (22.09 g, 225.3 mmol, 0.75 equivalents) in 13 mL ethyl acetate and the reaction mixture was stirred for 24 h at room temperature The obtained white precipitate was filtered off and dried in vacuum to yield mainly the exo-compound as a white solid (65%). 1 H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 6.59 (t, J = 0.9 Hz, 2H, CH=CH), 5.36 (t, J = 0.9 Hz, 2H, CH-O-CH), 3.32 (s, 2H, CH-CH); 13 In a 25 mL Schlenk flask under an argon atmosphere, methacryloyl chloride (0.15 mL, 1.5 mmol, 1.05 equivalent) was added dropwise to a solution of 2-(2-hydroxyethyl) 3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H-4,7-epoxyisoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (0.31 g, 1.5 mmol, 1 equivalent) and triethylamine (0.25 mL, 1.8 mmol, 1.2 equivalent) in 7 mL of dry dichloromethane at 0 °C. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h at 0 °C.…”
