Procedure

The material (Example 222a) was subjected to NBS bromination, thus 4-methoxy isoquinoline (Example 222a, 2.1 gm, 13.2 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE, 150 mL) was treated with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS, 1.5 gm, 8.4 mmol, 0.6×) at 70° C. for an hr followed by addition of second portion of 1.5 gm NBS. The dark brownish mixture was stirred for another hr before the addition of third portion of 1.0 gm NBS. The bromination was monitored by LC-MS until there was no starting material left. The crude mixture was evaporated to dryness and the desired product was filtered over a short bed of silica-gel (Type-H, Merck, 3 cm diameter by 1.5 cm height) eluted with straight hexanes first followed by gradually increasing the amount of ether. The desired product, (Example 222b), was isolated as an oily material (1.7 gm, 54%). LC/MS Rt-min (MH+) [method C]: 2.65 (238). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-D) δ ppm 4.04 (s, 3 H) 7.64 (t, J=7.58 Hz, 1 H) 7.76 (t, J=7.09 Hz, 1 H) 7.99 (d, J=8.31 Hz, 1 H) 8.11 (d, J=8.31 Hz, 1 H) 8.85 (s, 1 H). [3-Bromo-4-methoxy isoquinoline was previously prepared by a different procedure: Finkentey, Christel; Langhals, Elke; Langhals, Heinz. Chemische Berichte (1983), 116(6), 2394-7. NMR of the product was identical to that reported].
