실험 절차

A solution of 29.4 Kg of N-formyl-3-methoxyphenethylamine in 30 litres of dichloromethane was added over 90 minutes to a well-stirred slurry of 38.4 Kg of phosphorus pentachloride in 30 litres of dichloromethane. An exothermic reaction ensued, causing the solvent to reflux at 35°-38° C. After addition was complete, the reaction mixture was hydrolysed by the addition of a mixture of 90 Kg of ice and 30 litres of hexane. After cooling the aqueous layer was separated, made basic with 144 Kg of 45% potassium hydroxide and extracted twice with 50 Kg of dichloromethane. After drying the organic layer with sodium sulfate the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give 23 Kg of 6-methoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline as an oil.
