Abstract

Reaction of 4-cyano-1,3-dihydroxy-5,6-7,8-tetrahydroisoquinoline 1, with Vilsmeier reagent gave the chloro aldehyde 2, dichloro [2,7]naphthyridine, 5 and monochloro [2,7]naphthyridine 8, identified by spectral data [Mass, $^1H$ & $^{13}C$ NMR, NOE and HETERO COSY]. Structure 5 has been confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Reaction of 1a-f, similarly, gave the corresponding compounds 2a-f, 5a-f and 8a-f. The starting tetrahydroisoquinolines, 1a-f were synthesised by the reaction of the corresponding $\beta$-keto esters with cyanoacetamide. Reaction of 8 with $POCl_3$ gave in almost quantitative yield, the dichloro compound 5. An acceptable mechanism has been proposed for the formation of the products.
