Procedure
A sealed vessel was charged with 2-(oxiran-2-ylmethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (1.5 g, 7.9 mmol) and ammonium in ethanol (50 mL) was then added and the vessel sealed and heated at 80° C. for 2 h. After cooling to room temperature, solvents were evaporated to afford the desired product as a colorless oil (1.2 g, 73.7% yield). It was used in the next step without further purification.
