Dimethylformamide → HCID 22502878, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(4-ethylpiperidin-1-yl)-3-bromoisoquinoline (1.03 g) in tetrahydrofuran (20 ml) was cooled to −78° C., followed by the dropwise addition of 1.7M tert-butyllithium (3 ml). Fifteen minutes later, N,N-dimethylformamide (0.5 ml) was added thereto and the temperature of the reaction solution was raised to room temperature. To the reaction solution was added an aqueous solution of ammonium chloride, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, followed by washing with water and brine, drying and evaporating. The resulting residue was dissolved in methanol (15 ml), and reacted with sodium borohydride (0.4 g). The solvent was removed, the resulting residue was extracted with ethyl acetate extraction, followed by washing with water and brine, drying and evaporating. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (methylene chloride/methanol system), to give 4-(4-ethylpiperidin-1-yl)-3-hydroxymethylisoquinoline (0.46 g, 52.7%) as a pale yellow oil.
