Procedure

To a stirred mixture of 2.5 g of 7-hydroxy-3,4-dihydro-1H-isoquinoline-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester and 2.8 g of powdered potassium carbonate in 25 mL of dry N,N-dimethylformamide was added methyl iodide (0.94 mL) at 5° C. Stirring was continued for 24 hours at room temperature. Water was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with water and brine, dried (sodium sulfate) and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The crude product (2.7 g; oil) was used in the next step without further purification. EI-MS: 263 (M+).
