The precipitate of 2-amino-3,4-dihydro-3-hydroxy-1H(2H)-isoquinolinone was dissolved and dehydrated by addition of 10% hydrochloric acid (150 ml) at room temperature. After three hours, the mixture was neutralized with sodium carbonate and the ethanol recovered by distillation in vacuo. The title compound was isolated by filtration and extraction with chloroform to give 27.92 g (98%) of the product of the title, M.p. 103°-4° C.
