Procedure

A solution of 6-methoxy-4,4-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinoline (Intermediate 18, 3.2 g, 16.7 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (40 mL) was treated with formic acid (1 mL, 26.5 mmol) followed 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (3.9 g, 20.34 mmol) and the resulting solution was stirred at ambient temperature overnight. It was then diluted with chloroform and washed with water (×1) and brine (×1), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo to afford the title compound as pale brown viscous oil (3.26 g, 90%).
