Dichloromethane ethylacetate → 2-Adamantan-1-yl-N-(2-benzyl-1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinolin-5-yl)-acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 50 mL round-bottom flask was charged with a solution of 2-Adamantan-1-yl-N-(2-benzyl-1-oxo-1,2-dihydro-isoquinolin-5-yl)-acetamide (14 mg, 0.033 mmol) in absolute ethanol (6 mL) and 10% Pd/C (10 mg). The reaction vessel was evacuated and filled with hydrogen via balloon. The reaction suspension was stirred at room temperature under hydrogen (1 atm) for 17 h. The resulting mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated on a rotary evaporator. The crude product was purified by prep. TLC using DCM/EtOAc (3:1) as the elutant affording the title compound (11.8 mg, 0.027 mmol, 84% yield) as a white solid.
