Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-bromo-2-(3-chloro-2,2-dimethylpropyl)-1-oxo-1,2-dihydroisoquinoline-4-carbaldehyde (Example 1d, 0.45 g) in dimethylsulfoxide (10 mL) was treated with sodium acetate (0.343 g) under nitrogen. The resulting mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 10 h. Sodium iodide (1 eq) was added and the reaction heated at 120° C. for 30 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (250 mL) and the solid filtered off and dried to afford the subtitle compound (0.25 g) as a solid.
