Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

6-bromoisoquinoline that weighed 17.2 g (see WO 2008/077553), 200 mL of 28% ammonia water and 10.8 g of copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate were put into the autoclave and tightly sealed, and the mixture was then stirred at 190° C. for 6 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction solution was poured into 250 mL of a 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate (100 mL×5). The extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and then concentrated. The obtained crude product was suspended in dichloromethane and then filtered to obtain 10.2 g of the compound of interest as a light brown crystal (85%).
