Triethylamine → 2-(1-Methyl-6-oxo-4-pyridin-4-yl-1,6-dihydro-pyrimidin-2-yl)-1,2,3,6,7,11b-hexahydro-pyrazino[2,1-a]isoquinolin-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Chloro-3-methyl-6-pyridin-4-yl-3H-pyrimidin-4-one (332 mg, 1.5 mmol) was added to the solution of 1,2,3,6,7,11b-hexahydro-pyrazino[2,1-a]isoquinolin-4-one (313 mg, 1.55 mmol), triethylamine (0.223 ml, 1.6 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (8 ml) and the mixture was stirred for 4 hour and stood overnight. Ice-water was added to the solution and resulting precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with water and then dried to afford 2-(1-methyl-6-oxo-4-pyridin-4-yl-1,6-dihydro-pyrimidin-2-yl)-1,2,3,6,7,11b-hexahydro-pyrazino[2,1-a]isoquinolin-4-one (555 mg, 96%). Treatment with 4N hydrogen chloride in ethyl acetate yielded corresponding hydrogen chloride salt.
