Synthesis of 6-methyl-8H-dibenzo[a,g]quinolizin-8-imines via Reissert compounds
Reimann, Eberhard,Hertel, Rainer,Krauss, Juergen
experimental part, p. 673 - 684 (2009/07/18)
Alkylation of Reissert compounds derived from 3-methylisoquinolines with several 2-cyanobenzylbromides followed by hydrolytic cleavage provided the corresponding 1-benzyl-3-methylisoquinolines. Treatment of the latter with methylmagnesiumiodide caused cyclization to the title compounds rather than formation of 2-acetylbenzylisoquinolines.
