cf. C.A. 53, 5315a. Vanillin was methylated with alk. Me2SO4 to veratraldehyde, which was condensed with MeNO2 in MeOH and MeNH2 to give 3,4-(MeO)2C6H3CH:CHNO2, which was electrolytically reduced in 15:12:45 AcOH-HCl-MeOH to 3,4-(MeO)2C6H3CH2CH2NH2 (I); oxalate m. 178¡ã. 3-PhCH2OC6H4 CH2CO2H (II), m. 124-6¡ã, was prepared through the route of 3-O2NC6H4CHO, m. 56-8¡ã, 3-HOC6H4CHO, m. 103-4¡ã, 2-phenyl-4-(3-benzyloxybenzylidene)-2-oxazolin-5-one, m. 129-31¡ã, to II. I (from 5.5 g. of its oxalate) in Et2O and 50 ml. 10% KOH treated dropwise with 3-PhCH2OC6H4CH2COCl (from 5 g. II in CHCl3 and SOCl2), stirred 1 hr., the Et2O layer and CHCl3 extract of the aqueous layer concentrated, washed with dilute HCl and H2O and the product recrystallized (MeOH) gave 6 g. 3-PhCH2OC6H4CH2CONHCH2CH2C6H3(OMe)2-3,4 (III), needles, m. 97-100¡ã. III (3 g.) in 45 ml. PhMe and 6 ml. POCl3 refluxed 1.5 hrs., and the product treated as usual gave 2.8 g. 1-(3-benzyloxybenzyl)-6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-HCl (IV), prisms, m. 203-5¡ã (decomposition); the free base, needles, m. 84-6¡ã; picrate, columns, m. 207-9¡ã (MeOH). The free base (from 250 mg. IV) in MeOH and 1 ml. MeI refluxed 2 hrs., the product concentrated, the residue in MeOH at 0¡ã treated dropwise with 500 mg. NaBH4 in MeOH, heated 1 hr. at 50¡ã, the solution concentrated, the residue in H2O made alk. and extracted with Et2O gave 1-(3-benzyloxybenzyl)-2-methyl-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (V), oil, which yielded 220 g. picrate, columns, m. 164-5¡ã (decomposition). V (870 mg.) in 40 ml. 20% HCl refluxed 30 min., the product washed with Et2O, made alk. with NaHCO3, extracted with CHCl3, stirred with 10% NaOH, the NaOH layer treated with NH4Cl and NH4OH, and extracted with CHCl3 yielded 57% 1-(3-HOC6H4CH2) analog (VI) of V, columns, m. 136-7.5¡ã; picrate, columns, m. 180-3¡ã (decomposition). VI (100 mg.) in MeOH and CH2N2 (from 1 g. nitrosomethylurea) in Et2O kept 2 days at room temperature, the solution concentrated, the residue in dilute HCl made alk. with NaOH and the product extracted with Et2O gave 80 mg. 1-(3-MeOC6H4CH2) analog (VII) of V, oil; VII.HCl.0.5H2O, needles, m. 198-201¡ã; VII.HI, needles, m. 227-30¡ã (decomposition). K (60 mg.) in 6 ml. MeOH heated with 450 mg. dl-VI and the MeOH removed gave the K salt of dl-VI, which treated with dl-1-(4-bromobenzyl)-2-methyl-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (from 1050 mg. of its picrate, m. 183-3.5¡ã) in Et2O, the Et2O removed, the residue with 75 mg. Cu and 60 mg. Cu(OAc)2 heated 30 min. at 180-5¡ã, 25 min. at 185-95¡ã, and 10 min. at 105-200¡ã, cooled, the product extracted with Et2O, the phenolic base removed by washing with 2% KOH, and the nonphenolic base refined by chromatographic method yielded 160 mg. dl-3,4′-bis(2-methyl-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-isoquinolylmethyl)diphenyl ether (VIII), oil; VIII.2(CO2H)2.H2O, needles, m. 185-8¡ã (decomposition) (MeOH-Me2CO); styphnate, VIII.2(C6H3O8N3), prisms, m. 143-6¡ã (decomposition) (Me2CO-EtOH).
