Procedure

To a solution of methyl 2,2-diethoxyacetimidate (1.50 g, 9.32 mmol) in methanol (4.9 mL) was added (3,4-dimethylphenyl)methanamine (1.20 g, 8.88 mmol) dropwise at ambient temperature. The reaction flask was then placed into a preheated oil-bath and stirred at 70° C. for 16 h; after which time, the flask was removed from the oil-bath and allowed to cool to ambient temperature. The volatiles were removed under reduced pressure and the crude material was added dropwise to sulfuric acid (19.7 mL) at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 72 h, then the flask was placed into an ice-water bath, diluted with water (50 mL), and slowly neutralized to pH=10 with sodium hydroxide (10 N). As the reaction mixture became basic, an orange precipitate formed. This precipitate was filtered, washed with water, and dried to afford a mixture (2:1) of 6,7-dimethylisoquinolin-3-amine and 5,6-dimethylisoquinolin-3-amine (1.68 g, 9.75 mmol, >100%). MS (LC/MS) R.T.=0.32; [M+H]+=173.13.
