Triethylamine → 2-(1,3,4,6,7,11b-Hexahydro-pyrazino[2,1-a] isoquinolin-2-yl)-3-methyl-6-pyridin-4-yl-3H-pyrimidin-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 1,3,4,6,7,11b-hexahydro-2H-pyrazino[2,1-a]isoquinoline (292 mg, 1.55 mmol), triethylamine (0.223 ml, 1.6 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (8 ml) and the mixture was stirred for 6 hours and stood overnight ice-water. After addition of ice-water the solution was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was washed with brine and dried with magnesium sulfate. The solvents were removed under reduced pressure and purification by silica gel column chromatography (eluent; dichloromethane/methanol=95/5) afforded title compound (530 mg, 95%). Treatment with 4N hydrogen chloride in ethyl acetate yielded corresponding hydrogen chloride salt (495 mg).
