Hydrogen Bromide → HCID 22406801, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-[1-(2-chlorophenyl)cyclopropyl]-6-fluoro-7-methoxy-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (18.0 g) in acetic acid (150 ml) and 48% aqueous hydrobromic acid (150 ml) was heated under reflux under argon for 220 minutes. The solvent was removed in vacuo, and the residue dried by azeotropic distillation with propan-2-ol and crystallised from propan-2-ol to yield 1-[1-(2-chlorophenyl)cyclopropyl]-6-fluoro-7-hydroxy-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrobromide (18.56 g), m.p. 240° C. (dec).
