Potassium Carbonate → 7-Methoxy-3-(2-methoxyphenyl)isoquinoline-2-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-[2-(2-Methoxyphenyl)ethynyl]-5-methoxybenzaldehyde (0.95 g), hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.25 g) and sodium acetate (0.32 g) were reacted in ethanol (20 ml) at 60° C. for 2 hr. Potassium carbonate (0.6 g) and water (2 ml) were added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was heated under reflux for 12 hr. The reaction solution was evaporated, and then the resulting residue was extracted with methylene chloride, washed with brine and dried. The solvent was removed, and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (methylene chloride/methanol system), to give 0.60 g of the title compound as a yellowish brown amorphous.
