Reaction Steps

A mixture of (±)-1-(5-chloro-2-hydroxy-phenyl)-3,4-dihydro-1H-isoquinoline-2-carboxylic acid benzyl ester (1.9 g, 5.00 mmol, 1.00 eq.) and chloroacetonitrile (0.34 mL, 5.19 mmol, 1.04 eq.) in DMSO (1.5 mL) was added to a suspension of potassium carbonate (980 mg, 7.09 mmol, 1.42 eq.) in DMSO (1.5 mL) (exothermic). The mixture was heated up to 80° C. and stirred at that temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was poured onto ice. After the ice melted, the mixture was filtered and the filter cake was rinsed with water. The resulting yellow gum was dried under hv The product was used without further purification.
