Procedure
A mixture of 6-chloro-3,4-dihydro-2H-isoquinolin-1-one (181.5 mg, 1 mmol, intermediate A-2) and DDQ (227 mg, 1 mmol) in dioxane (3 mL) was refluxed overnight. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was treated with satd. aq. NaHCO3 solution, and then extracted with ethyl acetate (2×10 mL). The organic layers were dried over anhy. Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to afford a crude product which was then purified by silica gel flash chromatography to give title compound (108 mg, 60%) as a white solid. MS: 180.0 (M+H+).
