Potassium Carbonate → 7-Methoxy-3-phenylisoquinoline-2-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(2-Phenylethynyl)-5-methoxybenzaldehyde (0.48 g) was reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.17 g) and sodium acetate (0.21 g) in ethanol (10 ml) at 60° C. for 2 hr. Potassium carbonate (0.3 g) and water (1 ml) were added to the reaction mixture, and it was heated under reflux for 12 hr. The reaction solution was evaporated. The resulting residue was extracted with methylene chloride, and then 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 0.30 g of the title compound as a yellowish brown amorphous.
