Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 86723763, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-bromo-8-methyl-7-(propan-2-yloxy)isoquinolin-1-yl acetate (108 g, 0.28 g, 0.83 mmol) in MeOH (2 mL) was added 1M NaOH (2 mL). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 1 hour, then concentrated under vacuum. The residue was diluted in water and the pH was adjusted to 4-5 with 1M HCl. The solution was extracted with EtOAc (3×10 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (2×10 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum to give 5-bromo-8-methyl-7-(propan-2-yloxy)isoquinolin-1(2H)-one (108h, 0.21 g, 86%) as a yellow solid.
