2.79 g (10 mmol) of 3(R,S)-hydroxy-1-methyl-4-(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (VII) were dissolved in 15 ml of acetic anhydride and stirred at 100° C. for 4 h. The solution was then evaporated in vacuo in a rotary evaporator and the residue was dissolved in 10 ml of water, adjusted to pH>12 with sodium hydroxide solution and extracted twice with 20 ml of ethyl acetate each time. The combined organic phases were washed with 10 ml of saturated sodium chloride solution, then dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo on a rotary evaporator.
