Reaction Steps

7-Acetamido-4,4-dimethyl-8-nitro-2H,4H-isoquinoline-1,3-dione (4.0 g, 13.7 mmol) was added to 90% H2SO4 and heated at 70° C. for 8 h. The cooled mixture was poured onto ice. The precipitate was collected, dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with water, dried and evaporated to give 7-amino-4,4-dimethyl-8-nitro-2H,4H-isoquinoline-1,3-dione (3.38 g, 99%), mp 259-263° C.; MS (CI) 250 (MH+).
