title: Chemistry of renieramycins. Part 4.synthesis of a simple natural marine product, 6-hydroxy-7-methoxyisoquinolinemethanol.
abstract: 6-Hydroxy-7-methoxyisoquinolinemethanol (15) and mimosamycin (1) were recently isolated from a marine sponge, Haliclona sp. The former was prepared in ten steps from vanillin (22) in 26% overall yield using an isopropyl for phenol protection.
