Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(biphenyl-2-yl)-2-methoxypyridine (2.9 g, 10.9 mmol), iodine (281 mg, 1.1 mmol) and toluene were charged into a double-walled quartz photochemical reactor equipped with magnetic stirring, an air bubbler and an ultraviolet lamp. Gentle air was bubbled through the solvent while it was irradiated for 15 h. The reaction mixture was purified by flash chromatography on silica (hexane:ethyl acetate) and sonicated in MeOH to give 3-methoxydibenzo[f,h]isoquinoline (0.5 g, 17%).
