Participants

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic anhydride (0.4 mL) is added to a solution of cis-4-(1H-benzoimidazole-5-carbonyl)-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,10b-octahydro-benzo[f]quinoline-8-carboxylic acid amide (140 mg) and triethylamine (0.6 mL) in dichloromethane (4 mL) chilled in an ice bath. The cooling bath is removed and the solution is stirred at room temperature for 3 h. Another portion of trifluoroacetic anhydride (0.4 mL) and triethylamine (0.6 mL) are then added and stirring is continued at 35° C. overnight. The solution is diluted with dichloromethane and washed with water and brine. After drying (MgSO4), the solvent is evaporated and the residue is chromatographed on silica gel (dichloromethane/methanol 20:1→1:1) to furnish the title compound as a yellowish solid. Yield: 50 mg (38% of theory); Mass spectrum (ESI+): m/z=357 [M+H]+.
