A method of preparing 2-?2-{?3-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)propyl!methylamino}ethyl!-6-fluoro-1-isopropyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl methoxyacetate comprises contacting 6-fluoro-1-isopropyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-naphthalen-2-one with the anion of acetonitrile in an aprotic polar solvent; contacting ?3-(1H-benzitidazol-2-yl)propyl!methylamine with the thus-formed (6-fluoro-2-hydroxy-1-isopropyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl)acetonitrile in the presence of hydrogen and a hydrogenation catalyst, followed by contacting the thus-formed 2-?2-{?3-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)propyl!methylamino}ethyl!-6-fluoro-1-isopropyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-ol with methoxyacetic acid or an activated derivative of methoxyacetic acid. The invention is particularly applicable to the preparation of mibefradil, (1S,2S)-2-?2-{?3-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)propyl!methylamino}ethyl!-6-fluoro-1-isopropyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl methoxyacetate, and its dihydrochloride salt. (6-Fluoro-2-hydroxy-1-isopropyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl) acetonitrile is new.
