Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 21403372, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.4 g of 5,7-dibenzyloxy-1-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl)-isoquinoline, 0.7 g of platinum dioxide, 100 ml of a hydrochloric acid-ethanol solution (the content of hydrochloric acid: 9%) and 50 ml of ethanol is shaken at 25° C in hydrogen atmosphere. After 150 ml of hydrogen are absorbed, the catalyst is removed by filtration. The filtrate is evaporated to remove solvent, whereby a mixture of 5,7-dihydroxy-1-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl)-isoquinoline hydrochloride and 5,7-dihydroxy-1-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrochloride is obtained. This mixture is recrystallized 33 times from ethanol, whereby 0.3 g of 5,7-dihydroxy-1-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrolsoquinoline hydrochloride is obtained. Yield: 40% The physiocochemical properties of this product are identical with those of the compound obtained in Example 1.
