1,2-Dibromoethane → HCID 59216374, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 228 mg of 60% sodium hydride in 15 ml DMF was added 1.2 g of [2-(4-Methoxy-benzyl)-1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinolin-6-yl]-acetonitrile and after stirring for 15 minutes at room temperature 1.1 g of 1,2-dibromo-ethane in 1.5 ml DMF was added. The resulting mixture was stirred 0.5 hour at room temperature and then more sodium hydride (0.114 g, 2.86 mmole) was added and the reaction mixture was heated for about 10 minutes at 30-35° C. After cooling, the mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and brine and the organic layer was dried over sodium acetate and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by silica gel column chromatography with 30%-50% ethylacetate in hexane afforded 1 g of 1-[2-(4-Methoxy-benzyl)-1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinolin-6-yl]-cyclopropanecarbonitrile.
