By condensation of 1-(2′-aminoethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives with substituted benzaldehydes, 1,6-unsubstituted and diastereomers of 1-methyl- or 6-methyl-substituted 4-aryl-9,10-dimethoxy-1,3,4,6,7,11b- hexahydro-2H-pyrimido[6,1-a]isoquinolines were prepared. The ring-chain tautomeric equilibria of most of these compounds in CDCl3 at 300 K were found to be shifted nearly totally towards either the cyclic or the open tautomeric forms, while the (6R*,11bR*)-6-methyl substituted compounds proved to be three-component tautomeric mixtures, the equilibria of which could be characterized by a Hammett-type equation. The conformational equilibria of the cyclic forms turned out to be strongly influenced by the 1- and 6-methyl substituents and the configurations of the substituted carbons (C-1 or C-6 and C-4) relative to C-11b.
