Procedure

A suspension of N-ethoxycarbonyl-m-bromophenethylamine (6.87 g, 25.25 mmol) in polyphosphoric acid (50 mL) is heated to reflux for 5 min. When the mixture cools, H2O is added and the resulting solution extracted with EtOAc (1×300 ml). The organic phase is dried and concentrated in vacuo and the residue chromatographed (silica gel, EtOAc) to give 6-bromo-1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline.
