Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-acryloyl-6-(methyloxy)-7-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (0.8 g, 3 mmol) in methanol (10 mL) was treated with dimethyl amine (10 mL, 2 M in THF, 20 mmol, Aldrich) and heated at 65° C. in a sealed tube for 16 h. The mixture was cooled, concentrated, and partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated aqueous ammonium chloride. The organic layer was separated, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and purified by chromatography on SiO2 (dichloromethane to 20% methanol/dichloromethane) to give N,N-dimethyl-3-[6-(methyloxy)-7-nitro-3,4-dihydro-2(1 H)-isoquinolinyl]-3-oxo-1-propanamine (0.65 g, 71%). ESIMS (M+H)+=308.
