Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(4-chlorophenoxy)methyl-6-hydroxy-7-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (100 mg), 47% hydrobromic acid (3 ml) and acetic acid (1.5 ml) was heated at 100° C. in an oil bath for 4.5 hours, and to the mixture was further added 47% hydrobromic acid (0.5 ml), and the mixture was continuously heated for 0.5 hour. After the reaction, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The amorphous residue was dissolved in acetone, and to the solution was added ether, and the mixture was allowed to stand. The precipitated crystals were collected by filtration to give 1-(4-chlorophenoxy)methyl-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrobromide (97 mg), mp 232° to 233° C. The product was identified with a sample by I.R. spectrum and N.M.R. spectrum.
