This synthesis process converts trans-stilbene and alkyl thiocyanates into a functional compound, indicating a new method for producing isoquinolines.
trans-Stilbene reacted with alkyl thiocyanates in concentrated sulfuric acid to give 1-alkylsulfanyl-3-phenyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines which were converted into 3-phenyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one upon silica gel chromatography.
