Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-chloro-1-aminoisoquinoline (2.8 g), chloroacetone (5.4 g) and sodium bicarbonate (7.6 g) in anhydrous ethanol (35 ml) was heated at 60° C. for 16 hours and filtered by suction. The filtrate was evaporated in vacuo and the residual solid was washed with ethanol to give 7-chloro-2-methylimidazo[2,1-a]isoquinoline (2.8 g).
