Acetoacetanilide → Isoquinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

The procedure of Reference Example 5 was repeated except that 0.04 mole of acetoacetic anilide (Reference Example 8) or 0.04 mole of malononitrile (Reference Example 9) was employed instead of acetylacetone to give a corresponding isoquinoline derivative with yield of 85%, 65%, respectively. The structures of the obtained isoquinoline derivatives were identified by means of elementary analysis, IR spectrum and 1H-NMR spectrum.
