Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-bromo-3-chloromethyl-2-isobutyl-4-phenyl-1(2H)-isoquinolinone (10 g, 24.7 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) and a solution of 2M ammonia in ethanol (200 mL) were sealed in a stainless tube and stirred at 140° C. for 5 h. The reaction mixture was cooled and concentrated. The residue was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was crystallized from diethyl ether and the precipitated crystals were collected by filtration to give 3-aminomethyl-6-bromo-2-isobutyl-4-phenyl-1(2H)-isoquinolinone (5.6 g, 53%) as crystals.
