Reaction Steps

6-Bromo-2-(4-methoxy-benzyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-isoquinolin-1-one(1.9 g, 5.5 mmole), Q-phos (0.0632 g, 0.11 mmole) and Pd(dba)2 (0.0781 g, 0.11 mmole) in 10 ml THF were added to 2-tert-butoxy-2-oxoethylzinc chloride 15 ml (0.55 M) under argon. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. Next a third of the initial amount of Q-phos, Pd(dba)2 and zinc enolate were added and the mixture heated for 1 hour at 70° C. to bring the reaction to completion. The desired product (2 g ; 95.6% yield) was isolated by flash chromatography using silica gel column chromatography with 10%-40% ethylacetate in hexane as eluent.
