Cyclisation of a series of 2-substituted 2-acylamino-1-arylalkan-1-ols using phosphorus pentaoxide in refluxing decalin is shown to lead to rearranged, i.e. 4-substituted, isoquinolines in addition to the anticipated 3-substituted isomers.The products arise largely via 5-phenyl-Δ2-oxazoline intermediates and the formation of the rearranged isoquionolines from these intermediates is fully discussed.The pathway is not substantially altered when 2-benzamido-1-methoxy-1-phenylalkanes are cyclised.
