Procedure

A mixture containing (100 g., 0.425 m.) 7,8-dichlorotetrahydroisoquinoline hydrochloride and (41 g., 0.5 m.) sodium acetate in 760 ml. of acetic acid and 430 ml. of acetic anhydride was heated at 100° C. with stirring for four hours. The cooled reaction mixture was diluted with 800 ml. of water and brought to pH 8 by addition of 5% aqueous sodium carbonate (1400 ml.). The tan precipitate was collected by filtration, dried and recrystallized from isopropanol to give N-acetyl-7,8-dichloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline having a melting point of 98°-100° C.
