Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(1-cyclohexyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)-N-(cyclohexylmethyl)-2-oxoethanamine (296 mg) was dissolved in acetonitrile (10 mL). To the reaction liquid were added 2-bromoethanol (400 mg), potassium carbonate (555 mg), and potassium iodide (133 mg), followed by stirring under heating at reflux for 16 hours. Thereafter, the solvent was evaporated and water was added to the reaction liquid, followed by extraction with chloroform. The extract was washed with saturated brine, and then dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform-MeOH) to obtain 2-{[2-(1-cyclohexyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)-2-oxoethyl](cyclohexylmethyl)amino}ethanol (155 mg).
