Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 5-bromo-8-nitro-isoquinoline (2.0 g, 7.93 mmol), triethylamine (1.2 g, 11.90 mmol) and Pd/C (10%; 200 mg) in dimethylformamide (10 mL) was hydrogenated at atmospheric pressure for 2 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite and washed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to afford isoquinolin-8-amine (700 mg, 66%) as a pale yellow solid.
