The reaction solution was cooled and then made alkaline by addition of 10% aqueous sodium solution. Subsequently, potassium carbonate was added to the solution and a precipitated oil was extracted with chloroform. The extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and placed under reduced pressure to remove the solvent. There was obtained 1.95 g of 2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-isoquinolinemethanol.
