Reaction Steps

N-((7-amino-8-benzyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl)methyl)cyclobutanesulfonamide (0.100 g, 0.260 mmol) and 3-oxetanone (0.037 g, 0.520 mmol) were sealed in a vial and heated at 200° C. for 2 minutes. Trimethylsilyl cyanide (0.69 mL, 0.520 mmol) was added, the vial was resealed and the mixture was heated again at 200° C. for 2 minutes. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (40 mL) and washed with 1 N NaOH (1×20 mL) and brine (1×20 mL). The organic extract was collected, dried on MgSO4 and evaporated under reduced pressure to give a brown oil. The residue was purified by preparative HPLC. Product was obtained as a colourless oil (13.2 mg, 0.028 mmol, 11%).
