Chiral acid chlorides were reacted with isoquinoline and 6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline to form diastereomeric Reissert compounds 8-11 and 18-21, respectively. The best diastereoselectivity (80:20) was achieved in formation of the 9-phenylmenthyl derivative 20. The diastereomers of 2-l-menthoxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydroisoquinaldonitriles (S)-8/(R)-8), formed in equal amounts

Singlet oxygen ene reactions produce 2-(tert-butyl)-4a-hydroperoxy-3-methyl-2,4a, 5,6,7,8-hexahydroquinazolin-4(3H)-one quantitatively during diffusion crystallization of 2-(tert-butyl)-3-methyl-2,3,5,6,7,8-hexahydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one in n-hexane/CH2Cl2 solvent mixture. To confirm this photo-oxidation, a 1H-NMR study in CDCl3 was performed with exposure to ambient conditions (light and oxygen), with neither additional reactants
