Reaction Steps

Analogously to Example 13(b) of 9.6 g of 6-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-2-one are reacted with TEBA and dimethyl sulphate in methylene chloride/50% strength sodium hydroxide solution. After extraction with methylene chloride there are obtained 10.2 g (98% of theory) of 1,6-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-2-one as a tough oil. The oil is hydrolysed in aqueous-basic solution analogously to Example 3(b).
