37. About the Pictet-Spengler reactions of β-arylethyl amine in water, it has been reported that hydrochloride salt of 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine (1) gave no cyclized product. In our preliminary research, hydrochloride salt of 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine with n-heptanal did not brought about cyclization in water as well. See Ref. 8a.
