Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of α-[1-(phenylmethyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-4-piperidinemethanol (5.4 g) in trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (25 ml) was stirred overnight at 100° C. The reaction mixture was cooled, poured out onto ice, then alkalized with NaOH and this mixture was extracted with DCM. The separated organic layer was dried, filtered and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was purified over silica gel on a glass filter (eluent: CH2Cl2/(CH3OH/NH3) 95/5, upgrading to 90/10). The pure fractions were collected and the solvent was evaporated, yielding 2.5 g (50%) of 5,10-dihydro-10-(4-piperidinyl)-imidazo[1,2-b]isoquinoline (intermediate 10).
