Reaction Steps

Excess of 3 mol L-1 hydrochloric acid in ethanol was added to a solution of 2-t-butoxycarbonyl-5-ethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (Example 8) (1.55 g, 5.6 mmol) in ethanol. After 3 hours, the solution was evaporated to dryness, and the hydrochloride salt of 5-ethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline was dissolved in water. The solution was made strongly alkaline with sodium hydroxide, and the product was extracted in dichloromethane, dried over Na2SO4, and evaporated. The product was purified by recrystallization from absolute ethanol. Yield 0.69 g, 71%. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 500 MHz): 7.02 (1H, t, 7.8 Hz). 6.70 (1H, d, 8.0 Hz), 6.57 (1H, d, 7.2 Hz), 3.98 (2H, q, 6.9 Hz), 3.77 (2H, s), 3.24 (2H, s), 2.91 (2H, s), 1.31 (3H, t, 6.9 Hz); 13C NMR (DMSO-d6, 120 MHz): 156.1, 137.5, 125.7, 123.5, 118.1, 108.2, 62.9, 47.7, 43.0, 23.1, 14.7; MS(EI+): 177 (95%, M+), 148 (100%), 132 (25%), 120 (43%), 104 (56%), 91 (33%).
