abstract: The oxidation, by vanadium pentoxide, of 1-substituted 6,7-dimethoxyisoquinolines has shown the essential part played by the carbon atoms located alpha to a hetero-atom. Thus 4-(p-chlorobenzyl)-6, 7-dimethoxyisoquinoline is more readily oxidized by vanadium pentoxide in presence of 5M sulphuric acid than 1-benzyl-6,7-dimethoxyisoquinoline. Carbon dioxide and succinic acid have been identified amongst the oxidation products, and indicate more extensive oxidation of the molecule.
