The solution is cooled to 0° C. and a mixture of 95% sulphuric acid (density 1.83; 35 cc) and 70% nitric acid (density 1.42; 10.2 cc) is added dropwise in the course of 30 minutes so as not to exceed 10° C. Stirring is continued for 16 hours whilst allowing the temperature to return to about 20° C. The mixture is then poured into a mixture of ice and water (1 liter), and an ammonia solution containing 20% of NH3 (density 0.9) is added, without exceeding 30° C., until a pH of about 10 is obtained. The yellow suspension is extracted with methylene chloride (4×200 cc). The organic extracts are combined, washed with water (2×50 cc), dried over magnesium sulphate and filtered and the filtrate is evaporated to dryness at 40° C. under reduced pressure (20 mm Hg). 3- Ethoxymethyl-5-nitroisoquinoline (24 g), melting at 54° C., is obtained.
