Phenethylamine → HCID 20133036, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

By procedures described in Example 1 (Method A), phenethylamine and propionyl chloride were converted to 1-ethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline. A reaction vessel was charged with 2.5 g of this isoquinoline compound in 50 ml toluene. With this mixture stirred, 1.5 ml dichloroacetyl chloride was added dropwise to the mixture. The mixture was refluxed until a clear solution appeared. The mixture was stripped of solvent and subjected to Kugelrohr distillation (150° C. @ 0.25 mm Hg) to provide 2.7 g of product having the elemental analysis reported in Table I.
