Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.80 g, 0.63 mmol) was added and the mixture heated at reflux under argon for 35 hours. The solution was cooled to room temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate and washed successively with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The residue was chromatographed and silica gel (eluent: ethyl acetate/hexane, 1:9) to give 0.81 g of 3-(1-isopropyl-7-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6-quinolinyl)-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (79%). 1H NMR (500 MHz; CDCl3): δ1.18 (s, 3H); 1.20 (s, 3H); 1.94 (m, 2H); 2.06 (s, 3H); 2.72 (m, 2H); 3.18 (m, 2H); 3.85 (s, 3H); 4.16 (m, 1H); 6.57 (s, 1H); 6.78 (s, 1H); 7.02 (d, 1H); 7.69 (d, 1H); 7.34 (s, 1H); 7.84 (m, 1H); 9.89 (s, 1H).
