Isonicotinic Acid → HCID 4137929, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

50 g (406 mmol) of isonicotinic acid are dissolved under an argon atmosphere in 1000 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 25 g of N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole are added while stirring, the mixture is stirred for half an hour, a further 25 g of N,N'carbonyldiimidazole are added, the mixture is stirred for a further half hour and 15 g of N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole are added. Stirring is continued for 1 h 30 min, 51.39 g (385.8 mmol) of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline dissolved in a few milliliters of tetrahydrofuran are introduced slowly into the mixture, which has become clear, and the mixture is stirred overnight at room temperature. The solvent is then evaporated off, the oily residue taken up with approximately 700 ml of dichloromethane, and the solution obtained washed twice with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and thereafter twice with water and dried over magnesium sulphate. 87.48 g of an orange-coloured oil, which solidifies slowly in the cold, are obtained.
