Application

3,4-Dihydroisoquinoline can be used as a reactant to synthesize:
  • 5,6-Dihydro-8H-isoquino[1,2-b]quinazolin-8-one by decarboxylative cyclization reaction with isatoic anhydride using tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI).
  • 1-naphtholyl tetrahydroisoquinoline by aza-Friedel-Crafts reaction with various naphthols.
  • 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline pseudo bases, which are employed as starting materials for the preperation of 3-benzazepine derivatives.
