Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ammonium thiocyanate (0.105 g, 1.384 mmol), 6-methoxycarbonyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrochloride (0.3 g, 1.3176 mmol) and THF (2 mL) was heated in a CEM microwave reactor for 1 h at 100° C. Upon cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc, and washed with H2O, 1 N HCl, saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and brine respectively, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford methyl 2-(aminocarbonothioyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-6-carboxylate (0.33 g, 47%) as a white solid. LCMS: (FA) ES+ 251.
