Abstract

Nitrosation of 1-methyl-, 1-ethylisoquinoline and their N-oxides with alkyl nitrite was studied under various conditions, and the following three systems, (t-BuONO and t-BuOK in THF), (t-BuONO and t-BuOK in liq. NH3) and (t-BuONO and n-BuLi-t-BuOK in THF), were found to be generally effective for nitrosation of not only isoquinolines but also pyridine and quinoline derivatives. The δOH-δCH=N and δOH values were shown to be reliable criterions for assigning configurations of aldoximes and methylketoximes in these series. The semi-empirical molecular orbital calculations (MNDO method) about the reactivity of isoquinoline derivatives and the stability of ketoximes were in good qualitative agreement with the experimental results.
