A New Method for the Preparation of 2-Methyl-1-(2-oxoalkyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines

Abstract
1-Ethoxy-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (3a) has been prepared by the reaction of 2-methyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolinium bromide (7a) with sodium ethoxide. A convenient method for the preparation of 2-methyl-1-(2-oxoalkyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines 2 has been developed by utilizing the nucleophilic reaction of active methylene compounds with 3a.
