Acetic Acid → 1-(4-(6,8-Dichloro-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-4-yl)phenyl)-3-(3-(2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)propyl)urea

Reaction Steps

Into a 50-mL round-bottom flask purged and maintained with an inert atmosphere of nitrogen, was placed a solution of 1-(4-(6,8-dichloro-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-4-yl)phenyl)-3-(3-(2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)-3-oxopropyl)urea (150 mg, 0.27 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in dichloromethane (10 mL) and acetic acid (1 mL) Sodium borohydride (42 mg, 1.11 mmol, 4.04 equiv) was added and the resulting solution was stirred overnight at room temperature. The resulting mixture was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride (3×10 mL). The mixture was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. This resulted in 30 mg (21%) of 1-(4-(6,8-dichloro-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-4-yl)phenyl)-3-(3-(2,2-dimethyl-4,6-dioxo-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)propyl)urea as a yellow solid.
