7-Nitroisoquinoline → Isoquinolin-7-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

7-Nitroisoquinoline (1.62 g, 9.25 mmol) in ethanol (150 ml) was hydrogenated on a Paar Hydrogenator Apparatus over 5% palladium on carbon (0.2 g) as catalyst for 3 h at 50 psi. The reaction mixture was filtered and the solvent removed at reduced pressure. Recrystallization of the solid from ethanol (3 ml) gave isoquinolin-7-amine (0.98 g) as a tan solid. MS 145 (M+H), NMR (CDCl3) 9.02 (s, 1H), 8.29 (d, 1H), 7.63 (d, 1H), 7.47 (d, 1H),7.13 (dd, H), 7.03 (d, 1H), 4.00 (broad, 2H).
