In the search of new probes for in vivo brain imaging of vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 (VMAT2), we have developed an efficient synthesis of a novel series of 3-alkyl-dihydrotetrabenazine (DTBZ) derivatives. The affinity of VMAT2 was evaluated by an in vitro inhibitory binding assay using [125I]-iodovinyl-TBZ or [18F](+)-FP-DTBZ as radioligands in rat striatal tissue homogenates. New DTBZ derivatives exhibited moderate to good binding affinity to VMAT2. Among these new ligands, compound 4b showed the best affinity for VMAT2 (Ki = 5.98 nM) and may be a useful lead compound for future structure-activity studies.

The reaction of various 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines with malonic acid gives the corresponding 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-isoquinolineacetic acids in good yield, while the reaction with cyanoacetic acid and malonic acid half ethyl ester affords 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1
