Ethanolamine → 6-Chloro-2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-5-nitroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A microwave vial was charged with 6-chloro-5-nitro-1H-isochromen-1-one (1.0 g, 0.00443 mol), ethanolamine (0.401 mL, 0.00665 mol), triethylamine (1.24 mL, 0.00886 mol) and methanol (30 mL, 0.7 mol) and the reaction was subjected to microwave at 100° C. for 1 hour. the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue purified by flash chromatography to afford the product as a yellow solid. MS m/z=269.4 (M+H). 1H NMR (400 MHz; CDCl3) 8.41 (d, J=8.56 Hz, 1H), 7.52 (d, J=8.56 Hz, 1H), 7.33 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 6.31 (d, J=8.56 Hz, 1H), 4.17 (t, J=44.88 Hz, 2H), 3.99 (t, J=5.11 Hz, 2H), 2.55 (bs, 1H).
