Acetic Acid → 7-[1-(3-Methoxycarbonylpyridin-4-yl)piperidin-4-ylmethoxy]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a soution of 7-[1-(3-formylpyridin-4-yl)piperidin4-ylmethoxy]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (50 mg) in a mixture of chloroform (0.5 ml) and methanol (0.2 ml) were added sodium cyanide (8 mg), manganese dioxide (250 mg) and acetic acid (0.003 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was filtrated and the solvent was evaporated. The obtained residue was purified by preparative thin layer chromatography (chloroform:methanol=15:1) and dried under reduced pressure to give the title compound (50 mg).
