methyl 7-bromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylate

Conditions: temp:0.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a solution of methyl 7-bromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylate (1.0 g, 3.7 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) was added 1.0 M of lithium tetrahydroaluminate in tetrahydrofuran (7.40 mL, 7.40 mmol, Aldrich Cat. No. 212776) dropwise at 0° C. The solution was stirred at 0° C. for 2 h. Water (0.3 mL), 15% NaOH aqueous solution (0.3 mL) and water (1.0 mL) were added dropwise in sequence to the reaction solution. The suspension was filtered through a pad of celite, and washed with ether. The filtrate was concentrated to afford the desired compound which was directly used in the next step reaction without further purification. LCMS (M+H)+: m/z=242.2. dropwise at 0° C The suspension was filtered through a pad of celite washed with ether The filtrate was concentrated
