Methylamine → HCID 22914835, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stream of gaseous methylamine is passed into a 250 ml round-bottomed flask containing a solution of 1.7 g (4.78 mmol) of methyl7-chloro-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 4 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 ethyl acetate, 1.36 g (3.83 mmol) of white solid are obtained. Melting point: 161°-162° C.
