8-Hydroxyisoquinoline is a heterocyclic compound that is synthesized from the reaction of acetylacetone with hydroxylated isoquinoline. It has two stereoisomers and four possible alkyl substituents. 8-Hydroxyisoquinoline can be used as a reagent for the synthesis of other compounds, such as sulfoxides, which are intermediates in organic reactions. The reaction can be carried out at room temperature and the product will precipitate from the solution due to its high solubility in water. This process is not very efficient, so it is best to use a large amount of solvent and increase the reaction time to obtain higher yields. The purity of this compound can be determined by using gel chromatography and anhydrous sodium acetate. 8-Hydroxyisoquinoline's skeleton contains a ligand group that binds to metal ions, which makes it useful for hypotensive drugs.
