Methylamine → HCID 15839873, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stream of gaseous methylamine is passed into a 250 ml round-bottomed flask containing a solution of 1.25 g (3.85 mmol) of methyl 2-methyl-1-oxo-3-phenyl-1,2-dihydroisoquinoline-4-propanoate in 20 ml of dichloromethane and 80 ml of methanol until saturation and the mixture is left stirring at room temperature for 3 days. The solvents are evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue is purified by chromatography on a column of silica gel, elution being carried out with a mixture of dichloromethane and ethyl acetate ranging from 100/0 to 80/20 and then with a 95/5 mixture of dichloromethane and methanol. After recrystallizing from acetonitrile, 0.85 g (2.65 mmol) of white crystalline solid is obtained. Melting point: 185°-186° C.
