Pyridine → (R)-2-(6-Methyl-5-nitro-1-oxoisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)propyl acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (R)-2-(1-hydroxypropan-2-yl)-6-methyl-5-nitroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one (100.0 mg, 0.0003813 mol), pyridine (0.062 mL, 0.00076 mol), acetic anhydride (0.0432 mL, 0.000458 mol) and methylene chloride (5 mL, 0.08 mol) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction went to completion and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the resulting product was dried in vacuum (yellow oil) and was used in the next reaction without any purification. MS m/z=305.4 (M+H).
