A convenient one pot microwave-assisted 6?-electron cyclization/aromatization approach toward 3-methylisoquinolines is reported. The starting 1-azatriene derivatives were prepared in situ by reaction of 2-propenylbenzaldehydes with 1,1-dimethylhydrazine, which exhibited superior performance when compared with other hydrazine derivatives. Minor amounts of the related 3,4-dihydro isoquinolines were formed concomitantly with the isoquinolines, and a mechanism for their generation was proposed. The... A convenient one pot microwave-assisted 6?-electron cyclization/aromatization approach toward 3-methylisoquinolines is reported. The starting 1-azatriene derivatives were prepared in situ by reaction of 2-propenylbenzaldehydes with 1,1-dimethylhydrazine, which exhibited superior performance when compared with other hydrazine derivatives. Minor amounts of the related 3,4-dihydro isoquinolines were formed concomitantly with the isoquinolines, and a mechanism for their generation was proposed. The reaction conditions were optimized, and its scope and limitations were explored. In general, the transformation proceeded in moderate to good yields.
