Reaction Steps

3.12 g (11.8 mmol) of 4-[2-(6-methyl-pyridin-3-yl)-ethyl]-2H-isoquinolin-1-one in 48 ml of acetonitrile are mixed, whilst excluding air, with 3.7 ml (40 mmol) of phosphorus oxychloride and 6 ml of 4 N HCl in dioxane and stirred for 18 h at 55° C. After cooling to RT, water/NH3 conc. 10:1 (pH=9) and EtOAc are added, the water phase is separated and extraction effected twice with EtOAc. The organic phases are washed with water and brine, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated by evaporation to form 1-chloro-4-[2-(6-methyl-pyridin-3-yl)-ethyl]-isoquinoline; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 8.3 (m, 3H), 8.09 (s, 1H), 7.94 (t, 1H), 7.83 (t, 1H), 7.56 (d, 1H), 7.15 (d, 1H), 3.30 (t, H2C), 2.94 (t, H2C), 2.40 (s, H3C).
