Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Tert-butyl[2-(1-cyclohexyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)-2-oxoethyl]carbamate (1.5 g) was dissolved in EtOAc (20 mL), and 4 M HCl/EtOAc (3 mL) was added thereto under ice-cooling, followed by stirring at 50° C. for 5 hours. Then, the reaction solvent was evaporated. Saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate was added to the reaction liquid which was then extracted with chloroform. The extract was washed with saturated brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform-MeOH) to obtain 2-(1-cyclohexyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)-2-oxoethanamine (1.09 g).
