HCID 136352141,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinolin-8-olYield 80.4%

Procedure

Combine 8-Methoxy-tetrahydroisoquinoline (665.7 mg, 4.08 mmol) and 48% HBr at room temperature. Reflux the reaction for 3 hours and then cool to room temperature. Recrystallize the product from EtOH and Diethyl ether to afford 754.2 mg, 3.28 mmol (80% yield) of the title compound as a tannish white solid: 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO); 2.9 (2H, t, J=6.16, 5.86), 3.2-3.4 (2H, m), 4.0 (2H, s), 6.6-6.8 (2H, m), 7.0-7.1 (1H, m), 8.8-9.1 (2H, b m), 9.9 (1H, s); MS m/z 148 (M+).
