Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a 150 mL round-bottomed flask was added 6-(oxazol-5-yl)isoquinoline (0.50 g, 2.55 mmol) and THF (20 mL), and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. The solution was then treated dropwise via syringe with lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (1.0 M solution in THF (3.06 mL, 3.06 mmol)), and the reaction was stirred for 1 hour at −78° C. A THF solution of 1,2-diiodoethane (0.826 g, 2.93 mmol) was then added dropwise, and the reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction was then poured into a 1:1 mixture of ether and saturated sodium thiosulfate. Approximately 100 mg was purified on a Varian HPLC, 5-70% ACN in water, 60 minutes run, to give 68 mg of pure compound.
