Reaction Steps

A solution of 9,10-dimethoxy-6,7-dihydro-2-chloro-4H-pyrimido(6,1-a)isoquinolin-4-one (2.5 g), sec-butylamine (10 ml) and dimethylformamide (2 ml) is heated under reflux for 5 hours. The solvent and excess amine are distilled under reduced pressure. The residue is treated with water. A white solid precipitates and is collected by filtration. The precipitate is crystallized from methylene chloride-ether mixture, yield 2.10 g. The crystals are dissolved in dichloromethane and treated with a solution of etheral hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloride is crystallized from ethanol-ether mixture, m.p. 218°-225° C.
