Abstract

Since their discovery by Arnold Reissert, 2a Reissert compounds, a-acylaminonitriles, have proven useful as intermediates in the synthesis of various heterocyclic compounds, such as derivatives of isoquinoline, quinoline, quinazoline, etc., including alkaloids and other biologically active compounds. 2 During the course of synthetic studies for the preparation of specialty heterocyclic polymers? we
