Reaction Steps

A supension of 68 g 2,6-dimethyl-8α-aminoergoline in 1.5 l dichloromethane are pre-cooled to 4° and treated with 78 ml triethylamine. The mixture is treated under stirring dropwise within 25 minutes with 40.5 g 2-methyl-2-ethyl-butyryl chloride. The mixture is stirred for 30 minutes, poured onto 3 l water, the organic phase is dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The residue is chromatographed on 800 g silica gel using dichloromethane/methanol (98:2) to yield the title compound, which is crystallised from diethyl ether, m.p. 191°-192°.
