The reaction of 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1-yl-acetonitrile with DMFDMA afforded the enaminonitrile 5. Compound 5 was reacted with 2-aminobenzimidazole to yield 4-amino-3-(dihydroisoquinolin- 1-yl)-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine (11) and with acetonitrile derivatives to afford pyrido[2,1- a]isoquinolines (15a - g).
