Dimethylformamide → Methyl 4-chloro-1-(3-chloro-2-methoxyphenyl)isoquinoline-7-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 4-chloro-1-(3-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)isoquinoline-7-carboxylate (150 mg), potassium carbonate (119 mg), iodomethane (245 mg), and DMF (3 mL) was stirred at room temperature for one day. The reaction mixture was diluted with water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified under silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to obtain methyl 4-chloro-1-(3-chloro-2-methoxyphenyl)isoquinoline-7-carboxylate (130 mg).
