Participants

Reaction Steps

9-chloro-10b-cyclohexyl-6,10b-dihydro-5H-[1,3]oxazolo[2,3-a]isoquinoline-2,3-dione (2.37 g) was dissolved in MeOH (16 mL), and a solution of sulfuric acid (8 mL) in MeOH (24 mL) was added thereto, followed by stirring under heating at reflux for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was left to cool and then the solvent was evaporated. The reaction mixture was neutralized by an aqueous 1 M sodium hydroxide solution, extracted with chloroform, washed with saturated brine, and then dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated and then the resulting residue was dried to obtain 7-chloro-1-cyclohexyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline (1.78 g).
