18-Crown-6 → (S)-5-Bromo-2-((2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl)-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture containing (S)-5-bromo-2-((2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (303 mg, 0.93 mmol), KMnO4 (176 mg, 1.12 mmol), 18-crown-6 (245 mg, 0.93 mmol) in dichloromethane (4 ml) is stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The reaction mixture is filtered through a celite pad and the filtrate is concentrated to dryness by rotary evaporation to give (S)-5-Bromo-2-((2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl)-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one (LC-MS m/z: 341.2 (M+1)), which is used without further purification in the next step.
