Reaction Steps

Dissolve methyl 4-[(1S)-1-[[(3R)-2-(2-(4-fluorophenoxy)ethyl)-3,4-dihydro-1H-isoquinoline-3-carbonyl]amino]ethyl]benzoate (550 mg, 1.15 mmol) in a mixture of methanol (10 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (10 mL). Add a 5 N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (0.462 mL, 2.31 mmol), then stir the mixture at room temperature overnight. Concentrate the mixture under reduced pressure to furnish a white solid. Add a 4 M solution of hydrogen chloride in 1,4-dioxane (10 mL, 40 mmol), and stir the mixture at room temperature for 10 min Remove the suspended solids by filtration, rinsing the solids with THF (5 mL). Concentrate the combine filtrate under reduced pressure to furnish a white solid. Triturate the material in hot diethyl ether (10 mL), and filter to furnish the title compound as a white solid (535 mg, 93% yield). Mass spectrum (m/z): 463 ([M+H]+), 485 ([M+Na]+).
