Methyl iodide → 2-methyl-6-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (29.3 mg, 0.732 mmol) was added to a solution of 6-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one (100 mg, 0.366 mmol) in DMF (1.0 mL). The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 5 min, and then methyl iodide (57.0 μL, 0.915 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 6 h, then diluted with ethyl acetate, and washed with water and brine. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on a silica gel column with ethyl acetate in hexanes (gradient: 0-50%) to afford the desired product (0.038 g, 36%). LCMS (M+H)+=274.2.
