Reaction of Hydrogenated 3,3-Dimethylisoquinolines with Hexamethylene Diisocyanate
摘要
N,N'-(Hexane-1,6-diyl)bis(1-R-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-2(1H)-carboxamides) have been synthesized by reacting 1-R-3,3-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines (R = H, Me) with hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI). The reaction of HDI with 1,3,3-trimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline gave (2Z, 2Z')-N,N'-(hexane-1,6-diyl)bis[2-(3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-ylidene)acetamide], and a similar product was obtained from the corresponding benzo[f]isoquinoline. Both bisamides have been previously prepared by an independent synthesis via the Ritter cyclization. The reaction of HDI with enamine amides of the 6,7-diethoxy-1-methylidene-3,3-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline series involved carbamoylation at the β-carbon atom of the enamine fragment, leading to bis(malonamide) derivatives.
