Participants

Reaction Steps

A 15 mL round bottom flask was charged with (+)-(4aR)-(10bR)-8-(4-chloro-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl)-10b-methyl-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,10b-octahydrobenzo[f]quinolin-3-one (43 mg, 0.12 mmol), 0.3 mL of t-butanol, and potassium t-butoxide (40 mg, 0.36 mmol). Methyl iodide (0.022 mL, 0.36 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, and purified by silica gel chromatography (ethyl acetate eluent) to give 30 mg (66%) of the title compound as an off-white solid. mp 150°-151°. FDMS: m/e=412 a[D]589 =+68.57 (c=0.12, chloroform).
