Trifluoroacetic acid → Methyl 8-amino-5,6-dihydropyrazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline-7-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

TFA (1 mL) was added to a mixture of methyl 8-[bis-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-5,6-dihydropyrazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline-7-carboxylate and methyl 8-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-5,6-dihydropyrazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline-7-carboxylate (Intermediate 23, 0.114 g) in DCM (2 mL) and the resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution was added and the mixture was stirred for 15 minutes, then extracted with DCM, dried (MgSO4) and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give methyl 8-amino-5,6-dihydropyrazolo[5,1-a]isoquinoline-7-carboxylate (0.060 g) as a gum.
