Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 6-hydroxy-1-(3-isopropoxy-benzoyl)-7-methoxy-isoquinoline-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (73 mg, 0.18 mmol) in N,N dimethylformamide (2 mL) was added potassium carbonate (197 mg, 1.42 mmol) and 1,2-dibromoethane (0.046 mL, 0.89 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was heated 85° C. for 2 hrs. The solvent was evaporated and the crude product was diluted with ethyl acetate and water. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 mL). The combined extracts were washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (20 mL), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography (Merck Silica gel 60, 70–230 mesh, 30% ethyl acetate/hexane) afforded 6-(2-bromo-ethoxy)-1-(3-isopropoxy-benzoyl)-7-methoxy-isoquinoline-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester as a white solid (70 mg, 75% yield).
