Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-aminoisoquinoline (14.4 g., 0.10 mole) and ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate (16.9 g., 0.10 mole) was plunged into an oil bath at 105°-110° and kept there for 10 minutes under a nitrogen atmosphere. During this time the mixture melted, evolved ethanol and set solid. The solid was crystallized from toluene to give bright yellow crystals (18 g., 67% yield) of ethyl 4-imino-4H-pyrimido[2,1-a]isoquinoline-3-carboxylate, m.p. 197°-199°. Another recrystallization from toluene provided an analytical sample, m.p. 199°-201°.
