Procedure

To a stirred solution of 0.155 moles of phenylmagnesium bromide in 250 ml of diethyl ether was added dropwise a solution of 2.0 g (0.124 mole) of 5-keto-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinaldine in 100 ml of diethyl ether. After all of the tetrahydroquinaldine had been added the mixture was then treated with an excess of a saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution. The ether layer was separated, dried and evaporated to provide a residue. This residue was dissolved in dilute hydrochloric acid and the aqueous acid layer was then extracted sequentially with diethyl ether and hexane. The acid layer was then basified with aqueous sodium hydroxide. Filtration provided yellow solid 5-hydroxy-5-phenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinaldine, which had a m.p. of 130°-134° C. after recrystallization from a dichloromethane-hexane mixture. Analysis: Calculated for C16H17NO: %C, 80.3; %H, 7.2; %N, 5.9; Found: %C, 80.2; %H, 7.2; %N, 5.5. The structural assignment was confirmed by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectral analyses.
