Tetrabenazine (TBZ), which was introduced in 1956 as an antipsychotic drug,1 is currently used as treatment for hyperkinetic movement disorders.2,3 TBZ is considered a classical inhibitor of vesicular monamine transporter 2 (VMAT2).4 VMAT2 is the only transport that moves cytoplasmic dopamine into synaptic vesicles for storage and subsequent release in the central nervous system.5 It has been shown to deplete cerebral monoamines in rat brain by reversibly inhibiting VMAT2.1,5 TBZ (Xenazine®) is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat chorea, the jerky, involuntary movement, that occurs in people with Huntington’s disorder.6 It is also used to alleviate tics in Tourette’s syndrome7 and movement disorders in tardive dyskinesia.8

PAPER
The TBZ (4) for these reactions was prepared by reacting 3,4-dihydro-6,7-dimethoxyisoquinoline (3) and the Mannich base (2) as shown in Scheme 1.14 The α,β-unsaturated TBZ (5), which was the original substrate, was obtained by further treatment with chloranil in refluxing benzene.
Tetrabenazine (4a)
To a solution of 3,4-dihydro-6,7-dimethoxyisoquinoline hydrochloride (3, 3.5 g, 15.4 mmol) in cold H2O (20 mL) in an ice water bath, was added 3-(dimethylaminomethyl)-5-methyl-2-hexanone (2,
3.15 g, 18.3 mmol) as the free base with stirring. Precipitate formed
within 3 h, and stirring was continued until the solid-gummy precipitate
prevented stirring. The mixture was allowed to stand at RT (room
temperature) for 3 days. The solid–gum mixture was filtered, and the
yellow solid–gum mixture was dissolved in hot MeOH. The solution was
chilled at −10°C for 18 h. The pale yellow solid was filtered to give
2.1 g (43%) of TBZ (4a).

[0063] First intermediate 12 (1.0 eq) was dissolved in 10% Me2S- dichloromethane to provide an 82 mM solution. The solution was cooled to 0 0C and triisopropylsilane (1.1 eq.) followed by TFA (precooled to 0 0C) was added to the reaction mixture to provide a final concentration of 41 mM. The reaction mixture was permitted to stir at 0 0C for 1 h. Following the allotted time the reaction mixture was quenched at 0 0C by the addition of saturated aqueous potassium carbonate solution and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the majority of the dimethylsulfide. The mixture was extracted with five portions of dichloromethane, and the combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide the crude product as a yellow solid. The crude product was recrystallized from 3.5% dimethoxyethane in hexanes.
