Sulphonyl- and acyl-hydrazones of 2-ethynylbenzaldehyde cyclise in the presence of base to give isoquinoline N-imines in moderate yield.The suggested mechanism involves primapy formation of the hydrazone anion followed by nucleophilic attack on the alkyne bond, either by anionic nitrogen to give an unstable 3H-2,3-benzodiazepine which rearranges to the isoquinoline N-imine, or by the neutral imine nitrogen to give the isoquinoline system directly.Attempts to extend the reaction to the semicarbazone and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone were not successful.
