In Scheme II, Step A, 6-oxo-2-(Pg)-decahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (Pg is as defined hereinabove) is esterified by reaction with a compound of formula R3—Br (where R3 is as herein defined above) to provide the 6-oxo-2-(Pg)-decahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylate intermediate of compound (1). For example 6-oxo-2-methoxycarbonyl-decahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid is dissolved in acetonitrile and treated with tiethylamine and bromoethane. The reaction is heated at 50° C. for about 3 hours, cooled and partitioned between 50:50 ethyl acetate/heptane and 1N HCL. The organic phase is isolated and washed 3 times with water, saturated sodium bicarbonate, brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum to provide Ethyl 6-oxo-2-methoxycarbonyl-decahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylate, a compound of structure (1). This crude material may then be purified under standard conditions well known in the art. For example, the crude material is dissolved in 10% ethyl acetate/heptane and applied to a plug of silica gel (10 g in 10% ethyl acetate/heptane). The plug is eluted with, 10% ethyl acetate/heptane, 15% ethyl acetate/heptane, and 25% ethyl acetate/heptane. The eluents are combined and concentrated under vacuum to provide the purified compound of structure (1).
