Isopropyl iodide → HCID 15239440, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 20 ml of a solution containing 1.50 g of 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methyl-1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, 0.86 g of potassium carbonate and 1.24 ml of isopropyl iodide were added and the resulting mixture was heated to reflux for 21 hours. After allowing the mixture to cool, water was added thereto and the resultant was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After evaporating the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography [hexane/ethyl acetate (2/1)] to obtain 1.53 g of 3-(4-isopropyloxyphenyl)-2-methyl-1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline.
