Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 10% palladium on carbon (1.50 g), 7-(4-dimethylcarbamoyl-phenoxy)-3,4-dihydro-1H-isoquinoline-2-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (2 mL), and ethanol (200 mL) is shaken in hydrogen atmosphere (3 bar) at room temperature for 2 h. Then the catalyst is separated by filtration and the filtrate is concentrated. The residue is purified by chromatography on silica gel (methanol/methanol containing 1% ammionia 1:0→0:1) to furnish the title compound that is precipitated from dioxane with 6 M HCl in dioxane.
