Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-ethyl 2-tert-butyl 6-(((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)oxy)-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-1,2(1H)-dicarboxylate (7.44 g, 16.41 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 (0.948 g, 0.82 mmol), zinc cyanide (2.119 g, 18.05 mmol) and DMF (100 mL) was stirred overnight at 100° C. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, and filtered. The filtrate was washed with water and brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent gradient; 3→60% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give 1-ethyl 2-tert-butyl 6-cyano-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-1,2(1H)-dicarboxylate (4.92 g, 14.89 mmol, 91%) as a colorless oil.
