Synthesis of new substituted acetamide derivatives of 6′,7′-dimethoxy-2′,3′-dihydro-1′H-spiro[isoquinoline-1,4′-cyclopentane]-1′-carboxamide

Abstract

Reaction of ethyl 6′,7′-dimethoxy-3′Н-spiro[isoquinoline-1,4′-cyclopentane]-1′-carboxylate with ammonia and isopropylamine afforded dihydroisoquinoline carboxamides that were reduced with NaBH₄ in amides of 6,7-dimethoxy-4-spirocyclopentane-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-1-carboxylic acid. The reaction of unsubstituted carboxamide with chloroacetyl chloride led to chloroamide that reacted with versatile secondary amines and heterylthiols providing the corresponding substituted amino- and sulfanylamides of tetrahydroisoquinoline series.
