Chloroacetyl chloride → HCID 59396500, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of chloroacetyl chloride (177 mg) in EtOAc (12 mL) was added dropwise to a mixture of 7,8-dimethoxy-1-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (350 mg), a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (50 mL), and EtOAc (50 mL) under stirring. After the dropwise addition was complete, the mixture was stirred for 2 hours and extracted with EtOAc. The extract was washed sequentially with a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform-EtOH) to obtain 2-(chloroacetyl)-7,8-dimethoxy-1-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (349 mg).
