The reaction mixture was concentrated, and the resulting residue was dissolved in EtOAc, which was washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a crude mixture. Purification by flash column chromatography (hexanes/EtOAc, gradient 50%-100%) gave 6-fluoro-isoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester as a light yellow solid (27 g, 24% for 3 steps). LRMS (M+H+) m/z 206.1.
