Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture under N2 of (±)-1-(2-allyloxy-5-chloro-phenyl)-6-fluoro-3,4-dihydro-1H-isoquinoline-2-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (65 mg, 0.14 mmol, 1.00 eq.), 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid (45 mg, 0.29 mmol, 2.00 eq.) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) palladium (0) (8.3 mg, 0.007 mmol, 0.05 eq.) in MeOH (3 mL) was stirred at r.t. for 3 hours. The mixture was partitioned between AcOEt (15 mL) and water (15 mL). The layers were separated and the aq. phase was extracted with AcOEt (2×15 mL). The comb. org. phases were washed with sat. aq. NaCl soln. (1×15 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. To a solution of the residue and potassium carbonate anhydrous (60 mg, 0.43 mmol, 3.0 eq.) in DMF (2 mL), ethyl bromoacetate (48 μL, 0.43 mmol, 3.0 eq.) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. during 2 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (15 mL) and AcOEt (30 mL). The layers were separated. The aq. phase was extracted with AcOEt (2×15 mL). The comb. org. phases were washed with water (1×15 mL), sat. aq. NaCl soln. (1×15 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. To a solution of the residue in DMF (1.1 mL), 1M aq. NaOH (0.6 mL) was added. The resulting solution was stirred at r.t. for 24 hours. The solution was acidified with formic acid (0.6 mL). The crude product was purified by prep. HPLC (column: Atlantis, 30×75 mm, 10 um, UV/MS, acidic conditions) and evaporated to give the title compound.
