Morpholine → 7-Benzyl-4-(morpholin-4-yl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-benzyl-4-chloro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine 4a (0.46 g, 1.77 mmol) in isopropanol (20 mL) was added morpholine (0.38 g, 4.42 mmol), and the reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 18 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo, and the residue was suspended in a saturated solution of NaHCO3, and the product was extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to provide a residue, which was purified by chromatography to give 0.55 g of 7-benzyl-4-morpholin-4-yl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-pyrido[3,4-d]pyrimidine 5a as a pale yellow liquid.
