Reaction Steps

Water (0.6 ml) and sodium tert-butoxide (1.27 g) were added to a solution of (2R,4S)-2-ethyl-6-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolin-4-ylamine methane-sulfonate (3 g) in toluene (15 ml) and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for an hour, then water (15 ml) was added, and the mixture was further stirred at 80° C. for an hour. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and the organic layer was separated, washed with a saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give the titled compound.
