Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-7-carboxylic acid (0.689 g, 2.48 mmol) in THF (6 mL) at 0° C. was added LAH (4.97 mL of 1.0 M in THF, 4.97 mmol) dropwise under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 2 hours at 0° C., and then quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution. The mixture was partitioned between water and EtOAc. The aqueous layer was extracted three times with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to provide tert-butyl 7-(hydroxymethyl)-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-2(1H)-carboxylate.
