Reaction Steps

A solution of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (10 g, 0.15 mol) in THF (100 mL) was cooled to 0° C. and potassium fluoride (22 g, 0.3 mol) was added. After 1 h, (R)-oxiran-2-ylmethyl 3-nitrobenzenesulfonate (21.4 g, 0.17 mol) was added; the mixture was warmed to 25° C. and stirred for 16 h. The solution was filtered, washed with THF and concentrated. The crude product was used in next step without further purification. (15 g, yield 53%) MS (ESI+) e/z: 190.1 [M+1]+.
