Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 5-hydroxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-2(1H)-carboxylate (0.025 g, 0.10 mmol) was combined with 3-(bromomethyl)benzonitrile (Aldrich, 145610) (0.029 g, 0.15 mmol), acetonitrile (2.0 mL) and cesium carbonate (0.065 g, 0.20 mmol) and was stirred at r.t. overnight. This was diluted with ethyl acetate, filtered to remove the solids and concentrated under reduced pressure to give crude tert-butyl 5-(3-cyanobenzyloxy)-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-2(1H)-carboxylate (0.040 g) as a semisolid. Analytical LCMS (M+Na)+: m/z=387.0.
