Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,1′-thiocarbonyldipyridin-2(1H)-one (220 mg, 0.948 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) at ambient temperature was added 6-methylisoquinolin-3-amine (125 mg, 0.790 mmol). The reaction mixture was placed into a preheated oil-bath and stirred at 40° C. for 18 h, then removed from the oil-bath and cooled to ambient temperature. The mixture was concentrated and the crude material was purified by silica gel chromatography (5-30% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to afford 3-isothiocyanato-6-methylisoquinoline (75 mg, 0.375 mmol, 47.4% yield), as an off-white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 9.03 (s, 1H), 7.88 (d, J=8.24 Hz, 1H), 7.56 (s, 1H), 7.46 (dd, J=8.24, 1.53 Hz, 1H), 7.39 (s, 1H) 2.57 (s, 3H). MS (LC/MS) R.T.=1.92; [M+H]+=201.13.
