Procedure
A solution of 2-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-4,4-dimethyl-7-nitro-3,4-dihydro-2H-isoquinolin-1-one (1.2 g, 3.52 mmol) and cerium ammonium nitrate (5.78 g, 10.56 mmol) in acetonitrile (30 ml) and water (15 ml) was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hrs, after this time the reaction was warmed to room temperature and stirred for a further 15 h. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and dichloromethane added. The organic phase was separated, washed with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution and brine, then dried and evaporated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by flash column chromatography (15% ethyl acetate in dichloromethane) to afford the title compound (300 mg, 39%). HPLC retention time 3.71 min. Mass spectrum (ES+) m/z 221 (M+H).
