Oxidative Degradation of 6-Hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines and 7-Hydroxy-2-benzazepines. A Novel Route to Heterocyclic Quinones

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00288a048

A novel route toward 4,5-indolequinones and 5,8-quinolinequinones, based on the Fremy's salt promoted oxidative degradation of 6-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines and 7-hydroxy-2-benzazepines, is described.
