two doublets at 4.34 and 6.08 ppm with a vicinal coupling
constant of 4.8 Hz. It has been documented that in cis-2,3-
dihydrofurans, the vicinal coupling constant of the two
methine protons is 7–10 Hz, while in trans-2,3-dihydrofurans
the vicinal coupling constant is 2.8–6.0 Hz. Therefore, we
concluded that the thermodynamically stable trans isomers of

A proposed mechanism for this reaction is shown in Scheme
. The formation of the product can be explained as follows. The
-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxoethyl)]isoquinolinium bromide 2
undergoes deprotonation in the presence of aqueous choline
hydroxide to give the reactive isoquinolinium ylide 6. The
-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone 3 reacts with aromatic aldehyde
in the presence of choline hydroxide to give the Knoevenagel
product 7. This reacts instantly with the isoquinolinium ylide
to form the zwitterionic intermediate 8, which undergoes
