Abstract
A synthesis of N-substituted 1-alkyl and 1-aryl 3-aminoisoquinolines by cyclocondensation of 2- acylphenylacetonitriles with aliphatic and aromatic amines using P2O5/SiO2 as catalysts is described. Selectivity, simplicity of operation and easy work-up are some advantages of this method.
Keywords: P2O5/SiO2, 3-aminoisoquinolines, 2-acylphenylacetonitriles.
