Reaction Steps

1-cyclohexyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-7-carbonitrile (1.01 g) was dissolved in EtOH (15 mL), to which a 6 M aqueous NaOH solution (7.0 mL) was then added, followed by stirring under heating at reflux for 6 hours. Water was added to the mixture which was then washed with EtOAc. A 1 M aqueous HCl solution was added to the mixture to have a pH of about 3 and then a saturated aqueous sodium sulfate solution was added thereto. The mixture was extracted with a 4:1 mixed solution of chloroform-iPrOH, washed with saturated brine, and then dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated to obtain 1-cyclohexyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-7-carboxylic acid (1.09 g).
