Reaction Steps

7-(5-Fluoro-2-methylphenyl)isoquinolin-3-amine (51.3 mg, 203 μmol) and N-bromosuccinimide (36.4 mg, 204 μmol) were dissolved together in methanol (2.0 mL) at ambient temperature. After 10 mins the mixture was poured into water and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (1 mL), extracted twice into dichloromethane. The combined organic phases were washed with brine containing sodium thiosulfate (1 mL, 1M), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford a residue that was purified by flash chromatography (silica, ISCO, 0-10% methanol in dichloromethane) to yield the title compound as a white solid (46.3 mg, 69%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.79 (s, 1H), 7.92 (t, J=9 Hz, 1H), 7.71 (s, 1H), 7.59 (d, J=9 Hz, 1H), 7.27-7.22 (m, 1H), 7.03-6.95 (m, 2H), 5.04 (s, 2H), 2.24 (s, 3H). LCMS: M+H+=331 & 333.
