Sodium Iodide → 6-(Benzyloxy)-2-[2-(4-cyclobutylpiperazin-1-yl)-2-oxoethyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 6-benzyloxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (1.5 g, 6.26 mmol) in acetonitrile (20.0 ml) is added 2-chloro-(4-cyclobutyl-piperazine)-acetamide (1.36 g, 6.26 mmol, 1.0 eq.), K2CO3 (1.73 g, 12.5 mmol, 2.0 eq.), and NaI (180 mg). The resulting mixture is stirred at rt overnight. Water (20.0 ml) is added to quench the reaction, and then the acetonitrile is evaporated. The residue is extracted with DCM (20 ml×3). The combined organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate, and the solvent is removed under reduced pressure to give a residue that is purified by PTLC (EtOAc/4% TEA) to give the title compound. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.30-7.44 (5H, m), 6.84-6.94 (1H, m), 6.70-6.80 (2H, 1 m), 5.20 (2H, s), 3.60-3.74 (6H, m), 3.56 (2H, s), 2.62-2.92 (5H, m), 2.22-2.32 (4H, m), 1.60˜2.10 (6H, m); MS (+VE) m/z 420.2 (M++1).
