Reaction Steps

[(cis)-6-Bromo-2-propyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-quinolinyl]formamide (for a preparation see intermediate 89) (8.0 g, 26.9 mmol) in DCM (100 mL) was added dropwise at room temperature to a mixture of acetyl chloride (6.7 mL, 94.28 mmol) and pyridine (10.85 mL, 134.7 mmol) in DCM (150 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at this temperature for 1 h then was washed with 1M NaOH aqueous solution, 1M HCl aqueous solution, a saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution then brine, was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuovacuo. Purification of the residue by flash chromatography on silica gel (20:1 DCM/MeOH) gave [(cis)-1-acetyl-6-bromo-2-propyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-quinolinyl]formamide (6.29 g, 18.5 mmol, 68%) as a light orange solid.
