Studies in isoquinoline chemistry

The use of Reissert compounds as intermediates for the synthesis of 1-benzylisoquinolines has been investigated. An improved method, utilising sodium hydride, for the generation of the carbanion of Reissert compounds and subsequent reaction with benzyl halides has been found and demonstrated to be a...
