Reaction Steps

To a solution of 9′,10′-dimethoxy-5′,6′,13′,13a′-tetrahydrospiro[cyclopent-3-ene-1,8′-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g]isoquino[3,2-a]isoquinoline] (300 mg, 0.75 mmol) in methanol (20 mL) was added sodium borohydride (57 mg, 1.5 mmol) in small portions at 25° C. After stirring at 25° C. for 2 h, the reaction solvent was concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was extracted with diethyl ether (2×50 mL), washed with water (2×25 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to afford 9′,10′-dimethoxy-5′,6′,13′,13a′-tetrahydrospiro [cyclopentane-1,8′-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g]isoquino[3,2-a]isoquinoline] (155 mg, 52%).
