Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 4-bromo-1-(2,4,6-trifluorophenyl)isoquinoline-7-carboxylate (66 mg), zinc cyanide (content 60%, 21 mg), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (0) (14 mg), 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (17 mg), and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (3 mL) was heated under stirring in an oil bath at 150° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was returned to room temperature, diluted with water and ethyl acetate, and then the insoluble materials were separated by filtration. The filtrate was subjected to liquid separation, and the organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure. Then, the resulting residue was purified under silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to obtain methyl 4-cyano-1-(2,4,6-trifluorophenyl)isoquinoline-7-carboxylate (44 mg).
