Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a 0° C. solution of 8-methyl-7-(propan-2-yloxy)-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one (107a, 30 mg, 0.14 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (0.46 mL) was added 60% sodium hydride (18 mg, 0.45 mmol). After 30 minutes 2-(benzyloxy)-3-(chloromethyl)-4,6-dimethylpyridine (Cpd Z, 43 mg, 0.16 mmol) was added and the resulting mixture was heated at 50° C. for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched with water (1 mL) then extracted with ethyl acetate (20 mL), washed with brine (2 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, then concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by column chromatography (EtOAc/heptanes, 0-100), to give 2-{[2-(benzyloxy)-4,6-dimethylpyridin-3-yl]methyl}-8-methyl-7-(propan-2-yloxy)-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one (107b, 46 mg, 76%) as a colorless oil.
