Abstract

6,7-Dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-4-spirocyclopentane was obtained by condensation of 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl-1-(aminomethyl)cyclopentane with formalin. The corresponding amides, which were reduced to tertiary amines, were synthesized by reaction of the latter with the acid chlorides of substituted benzoic and phenylacetic acids. Substituted dibenzo[a,-g]quinolizines, isoindolo[1,2-a]isoquinolines, and 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-[(6,7-dimethoxy-1, 2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-isoquinolinyl)methyl]cyclopentane were synthesized, respectively, by condensation of 1-aryl (or aralkyl)-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-4-spirocyclopentanes and their open analog -1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenylethylaminomethyl)cyclopentane — with formalin.
