Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60% in oil, 120 mg, 3.0 mmol) was suspended in DMF (12 ml), benzyl (3aR*,4R,9bR)-4-phenyl-2,3,3a,4,5,9b-hexahydro-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]quinoline-1-carboxylate (960 mg, 2.5 mmol) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min. Thereto was added methyl iodide (426 mg, 3.0 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hrs. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried (over anhydrous Na2SO4), and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was subjected to column chromatography using silica gel (30 g) and eluted with hexane-ethyl acetate (5:1, v/v) to give the title compound (330 mg, 33%) as an amorphous form.
