The reaction of 6-bromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-one (I) with 1(R)-phenylethylamine (II) by means of p-toluenesulfonic acid in refluxing toluene gives the enamine (III), which is methylated with lithium diisopropylamide and methyl iodide in THF yielding the 1-methyldihydronaphthalene (IV). The cyclization of (IV) with acryloyl chloride (V) in toluene affords the benzoquinoline derivative (VI), which is treated with triethylsilane and trifluoroacetic acid to eliminate the chiral auxiliar giving intermediate (VII). The methylation of (VII) with methyllithium in THF yields the N-methyl benzoquinoline (VIII), which is treated with N,N'-diisopropylthiuram disulfide (IX) and tert-butyllithium to afford the thiol derivative (X). Finally, this compound is condensed with 2-chloro-4-ethylbenzo thiazole (XI) by means of K2CO3 in hot DMF.
