The reaction mixture was heated to 65° C. and stirred overnight. The mixture was cooled to rt, water was added and the mixture was extracted with DCM (2×). The combined organic phases were then washed with water, and brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash silica gel chromatography (30% to 100% EtOAc/hexanes) to afford methyl 1-oxo-2-(2-oxoethyl)-1,2-dihydroisoquinoline-7-carboxylate (0.11 g, 56%). LC-MS: (FA) ES+ 246.
