Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tetralone (1.50 g), 3-methoxyphenethylamine (1.86 g), and titanium tetraisopropoxide (4.55 mL) was stirred under an argon atmosphere at 80° C. for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was cooled in an ice-MeOH bath. A mixture of formic acid (39 mL) and acetic anhydride (97 mL) was added to the reaction mixture under stirring at an internal temperature of 0° C. or lower. After the addition was complete, the reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 2 hours, and trifluoroacetic acid (158 mL) was added thereto, followed by stirring at an internal temperature of 70° C. for 3 hours. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was made weak alkaline by using a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and was extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-EtOAc) to obtain 6 methoxy-3,3′,4,4′-tetrahydro-2H,2′H-spiro[isoquinoline-1,1′-naphthalene]-2-carbaldehyde (1.86 g).
