Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-fluoro-2-methyl-8-nitro-3,4-dihydro-2H-isoquinolin-1-one (11.65 g, 0.052 mol), 4-piperidin-4-yl-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (28.0 g, 0.1039 mol), K2CO3 (8.98 g, 0.065 mol) in DMSO (350 mL) was stirred at 85° C. for 12 hours. After cooling to room temperature, ice-water (500 mL) was added. The mixture was extracted with AcOEt. The organic layer was washed with water followed by brine, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (AcOEt; then AcOEt/MeOH=6/1) to give 10.09 g of the desired product 4-[1-(2-methyl-8-nitro-1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinolin-5-yl)-piperidin-4-yl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as pale yellow solid in 41% yield.
