Acetaldehyde → HCID 9951524, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 25 mL round-bottom flask is placed 6-(3-Piperidin-1-yl-propoxy)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinoline dihydrochloride (700 mg, 2.01 mol), MP-CNBH3 (2.5 g, 6.05 mmol, 2.42 mmol/g) and DCM/MeOH (9 mL/1 mL). Then, acetaldehyde is added (0.7 mL, 12 mmol) and the reaction is allowed to stir overnight. The reaction is then filtered, washed with DCM/MeOH and concentrated. Column chromatography in 9:1 DCM:MeOH affords 2-ethyl-6-(3-piperidin-1-yl-propoxy)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinoline (493 mg, 71%) of a viscous oil. Mass spec hit M+1, 303; LCMS>95% @ 230 nm and ELSD. Array synthesis followed this general procedure in 4 mL vials to make the following compounds:
