Studies on the Syntheses of Heterocyclic Compounds. CDLVII. Synthesis of O-Benzylhomosalutaridine by Photolysis of Diazotized 1-(2-Aminophenethyl)-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinoline

Abstract

Photolysis of the diazonium salt of 1-(2-amino-3-benzyloxy-4-methoxyphenethyl)-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-6, 7-dimethoxy-2-methylisoquinoline (VIIIa) gave O-benzylhomosalutaridine (VIIa).
