Reaction Steps

6-Fluoro-7-methyl-2H-isoquinolin-1-one (prepared as described in WO2007012421, 13.2 g, mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofurane (175 mL). After addition of silver carbonate (41.2 g), benzyl bromide (15.3 g) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred overnight. The mixture was heated to 70° C. and another 3 mL of benzyl bromide were added. Heating was continued until no further conversion was observed. The mixture was taken up in ethyl acetate, filtered over celite, evaporated and the residue was taken up in little ethyl acetate. The formed precipitate was filtered off to give 3.0 g of (2). The mother liquor was concentrated and chromatographed on silica gel to yield another 8.6 g of (2). Rt=4.00 min (Method 2). Detected mass: 268.1 (M+H+).
