Abstract

A convenient one pot synthesis of 1-. 1.3-substituted 3.4-dihydroisoquinolines 5. enamines 10 and 3-oxo-2, 3-dihydroisoquinolines 18 as well as of enamides 22 of isoquinoline from 2- phenyl-. 1, 2-diphenylethylamines, phenylacetamides, phenylacetonitriles, N- acylphenylethyl-amines and carboxylic acids in nonaqueous media has been accomplished.
