Reaktionsschritte

2 (2',3'-Dimethoxyphenyl)-1,3-dithiane, from Step 1 of Example 1, Method B, and ethyl 3-cyclohexylpropenoate, from Step 1 of this Example, were condensed as described in Step 2 of Example 1, Method B. The adduct was treated with Raney nickel and sodium hydroxide to give the corresponding acid. The acid was cyclized with polyphosphoric acid as described in Step 6 of Example 1, Method A, to give 3-cyclohexyl-5,6-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro naphthalenone. This ketone was treated with trimethylsilylcyanide in the presence of aluminum chloride and reduced with lithium aluminum hydride as described in Step 1 of Example 2 to give 1-aminomethyl-3-cyclohexyl-5,6-dimethoxy-1-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalene. The hydroxy group was eliminated by treatment with anhydrous hydrogen chloride in isopropyl alcohol as described in Step 2 of Example 2 to give 1-aminomethyl-3-cyclohexyl-3,4-dihydro-5,6-dimethoxy-naphthalene hydrochloride, m.p. 178°-179° C., 1H NMR (d6DMSO) delta 1.0-1.4 (m, 7H), 1.5-1.9 (m, 6H), 2.0-2.2 (m, 1H), 2.5 (dd, 1H), 2.7 (dd, 1H), 3.6 (s, 3H), 3.81 (s, 3H), 5.8 (d, 1H), 6.6 (m, 2H).
