Reaction Steps

30.0 g of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline and 15.0 g of sulphur powder in 200 ml of toluene are refluxed for 7 hours. After cooling the sulphur is filtered off, the filtrate is evaporated in vacuo. The resulting thick oily residue is distilled in vacuo. 27.5 g of 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline are obtained, b.p. 64°-67° C. at 0.6 mmHg.
