The invention discloses a synthesis method of 6-(methoxy)-3, 4-dihydro-1 (2H)-isoquinolinone, and belongs to the technical field of
organic synthesis. The synthesis method comprises the following steps: adding an
organic solvent I into a reaction container, then adding
triphosgene, controlling the temperature at-10 to 0 DEG C under the protection of
inert gas, slowly dropwise adding a solution of dissolving 3-methoxyphenylethylamine into an
organic solvent II, keeping the temperature at-10 to 0 DEG C, adding alkali, keeping the temperature and stirring, then adding trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, cooling to-30 to-10 DEG C, stirring and reacting, cooling to-30 to-10 DEG C, cooling to-30 to-10 DEG C, filtering, washing, and
drying to obtain the 3-methoxyphenylethylamine. And carrying out post-treatment on the obtained reaction liquid to obtain the product. According to the method, the 6-(methoxy)-3, 4-dihydro-1 (2H)-isoquinolinone is generated through a one-pot method at a high conversion rate, the synthesis cost is low, the steps are simple and short, the
reaction conditions are mild, the method is suitable for industrialization, and a potential
route is provided for large-scale production of the 6-(methoxy)-3, 4-dihydro-1 (2H)-isoquinolinone.
