Reaction Steps

To 1.0 g. of α-(2-hydroxyethylmercapto)-6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydro-1-isoquinolyl-acetonitrile 5 ml. of acetic anhydride and 15 ml. of benzene are added and the reaction mixture is refluxed for 4 hours. The mixture is then evaporated to dryness and to the residue carbon tetrachloride is added. 0.6 g. of α-(2-acetoxyethyl-mercapto)-6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydro-1-isoquinolyl-acetonitrile are obtained, melting at 157° C. after recrystallization from butanol.
