After 1 h at 0° C., aqueous sodium azide (3.1 g, 47.5 mmol, 16 mL water) was added dropwise and the reaction mixture was stirred at 23° C. for 16 h. Water (50 mL) was added to the mixture and the volatile was removed under vacuo. The resulting slurry was extracted with toluene (3×25 mL) and the combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4). The dried solution was filtered and added dropwise at 190° C. to a solution of diphenylmethane (25 mL) and tributylamine (14.2 mL, 59.4 mmol). The toluene was distilled off as added. After complete addition, the reaction temperature was raised to 210° C. for 2 h. After cooling, the precipitated product was collected by filtration and washed with hexanes and dried under vacuum to yield 6-Ethoxy-2H-isoquinolin-1-one (1.92 g, 10.2 mmol, 34% yield). MS m/z 190 (M++H).
