PROCESS FOR PREPARATION OF ENANTIOMERICALLY PURE (S)-1-PHENYI-1,2,3,4- TETRAHYDROISOQUINOLINE

摘要

Process for preparation of (S)-1 -phenyl-1, 2,3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinoline is characterized in that 1-phenyl-1,2,3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinoline is reacted with D-(-)- tartaric acid in a solvent system consisting of methanol and water, preferably at 3.3:1 to 1 :1 volume ratio, the crystallization mixture is left for crystallization and (S)-1-phenyl-1,2,3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinoline is released from obtained crystalline diastereoisomeric salt according to standard procedures. (S)-1-Phenyl- 1,2,3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinoline is the intermediate in enantiomeric synthesis of solifenacin.
