Procedure

To a suspension of berberine hydrochloride (500 mg, 1.3 mmol) in anhydrous diethyl ether (100 mL) at 0° C. was added 1-propynylmagnesium bromide solution (0.5 M in tetrahydrofuran, 26 mL, 13 mmol) dropwise. After stirring at 0° C. for 30 min, the reaction was quenched by adding saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (20 mL). The mixture was extracted with diethyl ether (2×50 mL), washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was re-crystallized from diethyl ether to afford 9,10-dimethoxy-8-prop-1-ynyl-5,8-dihydro-6H-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g]isoquino[3,2-a]isoquinoline (190 mg, 37%).
