Reaction Steps

In a 100 ml round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar and fitted with a septum with a nitrogen inlet, the iron powder (382.70 mg, 6.85 mmol) was suspended in clean, dry, reagent-grade ethanol (30.00 ml, 513.81 mmol) under nitrogen and at room temperature. To the stirred reaction was added the acetic acid (3.00 ml, 52.40 mmol) and the mixture was stirred to ensure homogeneity. The 2-(3-dimethylaminomethyl-benzyl)-7-nitro-6-(4-o-tolyl-piperazin-1-yl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-isoquinolin-1-one 11a (140.80 mg, 0.27 mmol) was then added in one portion and the reaction was warmed to 75° C. and allowed to stir under nitrogen for 4 h. After 4 h, the reaction was cooled to room temperature and the reaction solution was filtered through Celite, eluting heavily with methanol. The collected solution was then concentrated under reduced pressure and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The resultant red oil was taken up in 50 ml of ethyl acetate and washed with 50 ml of saturated NaHCO3 (aq) solution. The product was then extracted from the aqueous using ethyl acetate (3×30 ml) and the organic phases were combined and washed with brine (1×100 ml). The solution was then dried over Na2SO4; the solution was decanted and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The resultant brown solid was then purified using silica gel column chromatography, eluting a gradient of 100% dichloromethane to 10% MeOH in dichloromethane. 7-amino-2-(3-dimethylaminomethyl-benzyl)-6-(4-o-tolyl-piperazin-1-yl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-isoquinolin-1-one 1 b (73.70 mg, 0.15 mmol) was isolated as a tan solid and was carried on without further purifications. LCMS (m/e)=483 (M+H).
