Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of ethyl 6-chloro-4-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3-isoquinolinecarboxylate (1.41 g, 5 mmol), methyl iodide (0.47 ml, 7.5 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.04 g, 7.5 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give ethyl 6-chloro-4-methoxy-2-methyl-1-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3-isoquinolinecarboxylate (1.11 g, 75.5%) as crystals.
