Tin(IV) chloride in dichloromethane (0.51 mL, 1.0 M) was added dropwise to a suspension of 4-benzo[b]thiophen-5-yl-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-4-ol (300 mg, 1.02 mmol) from Example 92, and trimethylsilylcyanide (0.68 mL, 5.1 mmol) in dichloromethane (4.5 mL) at 0° C. The resulting solution was allowed to stir at room temperature overnight, then additional tin(IV) chloride in dichloromethane (1.02 mL, 1.0 M) was added and the solution stirred at room temperature for an additional 24 hours. Potassium carbonate (636 mg, 4.60 mmol), potassium fluoride hydrate (435 mg, 7.49 mmol) and then water (0.135 mL, 7.50 mmol) were added and the mixture stirred overnight. Silica gel (2.5 g) and enough water to make the mixture stirrable were added and the mixture filtered. The filter pad was washed with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The crude material was filtered through a plug of silica (1:1 hexane/ethyl acetate). The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by column chromatography (95:5, then 90:10 hexane/ethyl acetate) to give 4-benzo[b]thiophen-5-yl-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-4-carbonitrile (17 mg, 6%). Recrystallization from ethanol gave 10 mg white solid. The carbonitrile (10 mg, 0.033 mmol) was converted to the fumarate salt by dissolving in a minimum amount of methanol and treated with a solution of fumaric acid (3.0 mg, 0.026 mmol) in methanol. The solution was concentrated to dryness and the residue dissolved in 1:1 acetonitrile/water and lyophilized to give 4-benzo[b]thiophen-5-yl-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-4-carbonitrile, fumarate salt (13 mg, 94%, >99.0% AUC HPLC): mp 170-172° C.; 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.92 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 7.89 (d, J=11.5 Hz, 1H), 7.63 (d, J=5.5 Hz, 1H), 7.38 (d, J=5.5 Hz, 1H), 7.35-7.32 (m, 1H), 7.28-7.20 (m, 3H), 7.04 (d, J=8.00 Hz, 1H), 6.75 (s, 1.4H), 3.90 (d, J=15.2 Hz, 1H), 3.70 (d, J=15.2 Hz, 1H), 3.34 (d, J=12.0 Hz, 1H), 2.95 (d, J=12.0 Hz, 1H), 2.48 (s, 3H).
