Reaction Steps

10.4 mg (0.025 mmol) of the 7-iodo-3-(2-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2H-isoquinolin-1-one obtained in Step A, 0.48 mg (0.0025 mmol) of copper iodide (I), 2.0 mg (0.03 mmol) of imidazole, and 11.1 mg (0.0525 mmol) of potassium phosphate were suspended in 0.25 ml of 1,4-dioxane. Then, 2.6 μl of N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine was added to the suspension, and the obtained mixture was then stirred at 110° C. overnight. Thereafter, the reaction solution was cooled to a room temperature, and a saturated ammonium chloride aqueous solution was then added to the reaction solution, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and was then concentrated. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (methylene chloride:methanol=25:1 to 20:1), so as to obtain 8.3 mg (93%) of 7-imidazol-1-yl-3-(2-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2H-isoquinolin-1-one in the form of a colorless viscous oily substance.
