Produktinformation
3-Chloro-6-nitroisoquinoline is a nucleophile that reacts with an electron-deficient substrate to form a new carbon-nitrogen bond. The reaction is catalyzed by acid and can be performed in high yield. In the presence of chloride ions, 3-chloro-6-nitroisoquinoline undergoes chlorination and hydrolysis to form isoquinoline. This compound can then be cyclized by methoxybenzylamine and trifluoroacetic acid to form the final product, acetylcyclohexanone.
