Participants

Reaction Steps

Following general procedure K and using 2-cyclopropyl-4,4-dimethyl-6-trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinoline (Intermediate 22, 1.6 g, 4.6 mmol), palladium acetate (0.127 g, 0.56 mmol), 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (0.160 g, 0.39 mmol), dimethylsulfoxide (2 mL), 1,2-dichloroethane (5 mL), triethyl amine (2 mL) , ethanol (5 mL) and an atmosphere of carbon monoxide followed by flash column chromatography over silica gel (230-400 mesh) using 10% ethyl acetate in hexane as the eluent the title compound was obtained as an oil (1 g, 79%).
