Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-methoxy-1-(R)-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3,4-dihydro-1H-isoquinoline-trifluoroacetamide (330 mg, 1.09 mmol) obtained in step (b) of Example 190 and carbon tetrabromide (542 mg, 1.63 mmol) in dichloromethane (5 ml) was added gradually triphenyl phosphine (343 mg, 1.31 mmol) with stirring under cooling in a water bath. The resulting mixture was further stirred at room temperature, and after confirming the disappearance of the starting material by thin layer chromatography, the reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo. The residue obtained was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column using a mixed solvent of hexane and ethyl acetate (80:20) as the eluent to afford the title compound (390 mg, yield: 98%) as a colorless oil.
