Diethyl (aminomethyl)phosphonate → Diethyl (3-(4-(6,8-dichloro-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-4-yl)phenyl)ureido)methylphosphonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a 50-mL round-bottom flask purged and maintained with an inert atmosphere of nitrogen, was placed a solution of 4-nitrophenyl 4-(6,8-dichloro-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-4-yl)phenylcarbamate (200 mg, 0.42 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in N,N-dimethylformamide (6 mL), a solution of diethyl aminomethylphosphonate (144 mg, 0.63 mmol, 1.50 equiv) in N,N-dimethylformamide (1 mL) and triethylamine (64 mg). The resulting solution was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction was then quenched by the addition of 10 mL of water. The resulting solution was extracted with 3×10 mL of ethyl acetate and the organic layers combined and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. This resulted in 40 mg (17%) of diethyl (3-(4-(6,8-dichloro-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-4-yl)phenyl)ureido)methylphosphonate as a solid.
