Reaction Steps

8,9-Dimethoxy-6-phenyl-1,3,4,6,11,11a-hexahydro-2H-pyrazino[1,2-b]isoquinoline (the compound obtained in Example 1-(6)) (3.2 g) is dissolved in methylene chloride (20 ml), and thereto are added chloromethyl methylsulfide (8.4 ml), triethylamine (3.5 ml) and 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (61 mg), and the mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction solution is washed with a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue is purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent; chloroform:ethyl acetate=9:1). The resulting precipitates (115 mg) are dissolved in chloroform, and thereto is added a 4M hydrochloric acid in ethyl acetate, and the solvent is removed by evaporation under reduced pressure. The residue is recrystallized from ethanol to give 8,9-dimethoxy-2-(methylthiomethyl)-6-phenyl-1,3,4,6,11,11a-hexahydro-2H-pyrazino[1,2-b]isoquinoline dihydrochloride (60 mg).
