Procedure

A solution of 190 mg (1.19 mmol) of 6-isoquinoline-methanol in 1 ml of glacial acetic acid was treated with 2 ml of 30% HBr in glacial acetic acid and the mixture was heated at 70° C. for 45 minutes. The reaction mixture was cooled, treated with 20 ml of diethyl ether and stirred at 0° C. for 30 min. The resulting solid was filtered off, washed with diethyl ether and dried in a high vacuum. There was obtained 6-bromomethyl-isoquinoline hydrobromide (73% of theory) as a light brown solid; MS: 221, 223 (M)+.
