Reaction Steps

0.56 g of (±)-trans-2-(i-butoxycarbonyl)-6-ethyl-3-methyl-8a-(3-methoxyphenyl)-4,4a,5,6,7,8,8a,9-octahydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-g]isoquinoline hydrochloride were treated with 0.68 ml (7.26 mmol) of boron tribromide as described in example 2. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (AcOEt/MeOH/conc. NH4OH 75:25:2.5) and then crystallised from AcOEt yielding 0.1 g of the title compound. M.p.=196°-198° C.
