Reaction Steps

1-(1′-(1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-yl)-1H-spiro[isoquinoline-4,4′-piperidine]-2(3H)-yl)ethanone 6d (350 mg; 0.83 mmol.) was dissolved in 80% aq. AcOH (20 mL) and the solution was refluxed overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (20 mL), cooled on an ice bath and neutralized by addition of solid KOH. The resulting suspension was extracted with DCM (3×30 mL) and the combined organic extracts were dried on Na2SO4 and concentrated to provide the crude 4-(2-acetyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-spiro[isoquinoline-4,4′-piperidine]-1′-yl)cyclohexanone 6e (200 mg, 70% yield) as a white foam. LC/MS m/z [M+H]+ 341.0 retention time 1.47 min (10-99% CH3CN—H2O gradient, with 0.05% TFA, 5 min).
