Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-(3-fluoro-benzyloxy)-3,4-dihydro-2H-isoquinolin-1-one (1.2 g, 4.423 mmol) and lithium aluminum hydride (0.337 g, 8,84 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (24 ml) was heated to 60° C. for 8 h. Water was added and an 15% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and the mixture was extracted with ethylacetate. After drying of the organic layer with MgSO4, filtration and evaporation, an oil was obtained (1.14 g, 99%). MS: m/e 258.0 (M+H+).
