Reaction Steps

4-(2-Amidino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-7-yloxymethyl)-1-(pyridin-4-yl)piperidine-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester dihydrochloride (9 g) was dissolved in conc. hydrochloric acid (50 ml), and the mixture was stirred under reflux for 3 hours. After completion of the reaction, insoluble material was filtered off and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was dried under reduced pressure to give the title compound (9.0 g).
