Procedure

Acetic anhydride (0.71 g) was added dropwise to a suspension of 7-chloro-3-hydroxymethyl-2-methylimidazo[2,1-a]isoquinoline (1.43 g) in pyridine (14 ml) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. The mixture was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was extracted with chloroform after an addition of water to it. The extract was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, treated with activated charcoal and evaporated in vacuo. The crystalline residue was recrystallized from a mixture of ethyl acetate and diisopropyl ether to give 3-acetoxymethyl-7-chloro-2-methylimidazo[2,1-a]isoquinoline (0.6 g).
