Sulfuric acid magnesium salt (1:1) → HCID 66896211, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a dichloromethane (0.12 M) solution of 6-({[(1,1-dimethylethyl)(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}methyl)-8-quinolinecarbaldehyde (1 eq.) from the previous step was added magnesium sulphate (1 eq.) and cyclopropyl amine (2 eq.). The resulting suspension was stirred at RT for 16 h. The insolubles were removed via filtration and rinsed with dichloromethane before the combined filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The crude imine thus obtained was taken up in methanol (0.12 M) and then added sodium borohydride (1.5 eq.) portionwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 2 h. The volatiles were then removed in vacuo and the resulting residue was partitioned between ether and 1 N aq. NaOH. The aqueous layer was separated and back-extracted with ether. The combined organic extracts were washed further with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to afford the crude title compound as a yellow oil.
