Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2-(2,6-dichlorophenylamino)-1,6-dimethyl-9-oxo-8,9-dihydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-h]isoquinoline-7-carbaldehyde (2) (100 mg, 0.25 mmol) in THF (3 ml) was cooled to −78° C. Vinylmagnesium bromide (1M in THF, 2.0 mmol) was added dropwise, and the brown suspension was warmed gradually to −10° C. over 2 h. The solution was quenched with saturated ammonium chloride and extracted with ethyl acetate, and concentrated in vacuo to provide the title compound, which was used in the next step without purification, mp 235-236° C., MS (ES) 429 (MH+).
