Potassium Carbonate → 1-Chloroisoquinolin-6-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Chloro-6-(4-toluenesulfonylamino) isoquinoline (3.323 g, Production Example 22b) was dissolved in sulfuric acid (30 ml), followed by stirring at room temperature overnight. The reaction solution was poured into ice, and basified by adding an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and then potassium carbonate thereto, followed by extracting with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated, to give the title compound (1.37 g, 76.81%) as yellowish brown crystals.
