Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3,4-dihydro-6-methoxy-1(2H)-isoquinolinone (852 mg, 4.81 mmol, prepared according to J. Chem. Soc., 1969, p 183) in THF (45 mL) at −78° C. was added 0.5M potassium hexamethyldisilazide (10.6 mL, 5.28 mmol) dropwise and the reaction mixture stirred at −78° C. for 5 minutes. The reaction mixture was warmed to 0° C. in a ice/water bath and ethyl bromoacetate (1.20 g, 7.21 mmol) was added dropwise and the mixture stirred at that temperature for 1 hour, and then at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched by addition of sat. NaHCO3, diluted with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was washed with saturated NaHCO3 and then brine. It was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound (1.1 g, 86%) as a yellow solid. Molecular weight (MS): 263.
