2-Benzyl-4-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-7-hydroxy-8-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrobromide → 8-Amino-2-benzyl-4-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-7-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrobromide

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.03 g of 2-benzyl-4-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-7-hydroxy-8-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrobromide was suspended in 20 ml of ethanol, and after adding thereto 1 ml of Raney nickel, hydrogenation reaction was performed at 40° C. The hydrogenation reaction was over, the reaction mixture was filtered, and concentrated, affording 0.88 g of 8-amino-2-benzyl-4-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-7-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrobromide.
