Reaction Steps

5-Bromoisoquinoline (1.37 g) from Step 1 was dissolved in 10 mL of toluene. To this solution was added palladium acetate (74 mg), rac-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (205 mg), 1-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)piperazine (1.29 g) and sodium tert-butoxide (885 mg). This reaction mixture was heated to 100° C. for 8 hours and then allowed to cool to room temperature. The cooled reaction mix was diluted with ethyl acetate (EtOAc) and washed with water, and the organic layer was separated, dried over magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was chromatographed to yield 4-isoquinoline-5-yl-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as 1.5 g of a white solid.
