Abstract
Oxidation of 7,8-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline with potassium permanganate in acetone afforded 7,8-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline as the primary product. Hence, oxidation of the appropriate secondary nonphenolic 7,8-dioxygenated tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid is thus a facile method for the generation of the corresponding imine. The imine is not easily prepared via the usual synthetic route involving ring closure of beta-phenethylamine derivatives.
Oxidation of 7,8-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline with potassium permanganate in acetone is a facile method for generating the corresponding imine, making it a promising synthetic route for generating novel antibacterial agents.
