Hydrogen Bromide → HCID 22406867, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-[1-(2-Chlorophenyl)cyclopropyl]-7-methoxy-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (0.25 g, prepared as described in Example MF7) was heated on a steam bath at 100° C. in a solution of 48% hydrobromic acid (60 ml) and glacial acetic acid (60 ml) for 16 hours. The mixture was heated under reflux for 2 hours until the reaction was complete. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue dried by azeotropic distillation with propan-2-ol. The resulting suspension was removed by filtration and crystallised twice from ethanol to give 1-(1-(2-chlorophenyl)cyclopropyl)-7-hydroxy-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrobromide, which was characterised by elemental analysis.
