Product Information

• Name: 1-Methyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Methyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline is a chemical compound that is used in the synthesis of 1-methyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline N-oxide. 1,2-Dihydroisoquinolines are amine derivatives that are important for their physiological properties. The asymmetric synthesis of 1,2-dihydroisoquinolines is important for the development of new drugs and pharmaceuticals. This reaction scheme includes two steps: the first step involves the condensation of an imine with a catecholamine to form an imine; the second step involves cyclization of this imine to form a 1,2 dihydroisoquinoline. The use of additives such as sodium methoxide or dimethylsulfate can increase selectivity and yield by stabilizing one enantiomer over another. The products from this reaction are methylated with methyl iodide in the presence of potassium
