The reaction mixture was heated to reflux temperature under a nitrogen blanket overnight. TLC at this point in time indicated that starting material was still present; therefore, about 1.5 ml. more acetic anhydride were added and the reaction mixture again heated to reflux temperature under a nitrogen blanket. TLC, using a 9:1 chloroform/methanol solvent system containing ammonia, indicated that the reaction had gone largely toward completion but that some starting material was still present. The reaction mixture was therefore concentrated in vacuo and the resulting residue triturated in hot ethyl acetate. On cooling, crystals formed which were isolated by filtration. Thirty-four hundredths grams of trans-(±)-2-acetyl amino-6-n-propyl-5,5a,6,7,8,9,9a,10-octahydropyrimido[4,5-g]quinoline were obtained; molecular ion at 288; nmr and infrared spectra were in conformance with the proposed structure.
