Procedure

A solution of methylamine in tetrahydrofuran (30 mL, 60 mmol, 2 M) was added to ethyl 1-chloroisoquinoline-7-carboxylate (formed in Step 3 of Intermediate 27) (705 mg, 2.99 mmol) in a sealed tube. The reaction was heated to 60° C. and stirred overnight. LCMS indicated the reaction was not complete. Additional methylamine (10 mL, 20 mmol, 2 M in THF) was added and the reaction was heated to 60° C. for another 18 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and concentrated. The residue was partitioned between water and dichloromethane. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered, and concentrated. Purification by flash column chromatography (25-65% ethyl acetate/heptanes) gave the title compound (584 mg, 85%) as a yellow oil that solidified upon standing. +ESI (M+H) 231.1; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6, δ): 8.83-8.94 (m, 1H), 8.07 (dd, J=8.58, 1.56 Hz, 1H), 7.99 (d, J=5.85 Hz, 1H), 7.89 (d, J=4.49 Hz, 1H), 7.77 (d, J=8.58 Hz, 1H), 6.92 (d, J=5.07 Hz, 1H), 4.38 (q, J=7.02 Hz, 2H), 2.97 (d, J=4.49 Hz, 3H), 1.38 (t, J=7.12 Hz, 3H).
