Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-methyl-6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline in acetone was added benzyl bromide and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. A yellow precipitate formed which was filtered, washed with ice cold acetone and dried in vacuo. The product was further purified by recrystallisation from a hexane/dichloromethane mix and pentane to afford the desired compound in 81% yield.
