“…R f = 0.13 (SiO 2 , cyclohexane/ethyl acetate (93:7, v/v)); 1 H NMR (CDCl 3 , 400 MHz, 298.0 K): δ (ppm) 9.21 (s, 1H), 7.94 (d, J = 8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.75 (d, J = 8.2 Hz, 1H), 7.66 (ddd, J = 8.2, 6.8, 1.3 Hz, 1H), 7.53 (ddd, J = 8.2, 6.8, 1.3 Hz, 1H), 7.49 (s, 1H), 2.93 (t, J = 7.7 Hz, 2H), 1.85 (h, J = 7.4 Hz, 2H), 1.00 (t, J = 7.4 Hz, 3H); 13 Spectral data were consistent with data reported in the literature. 31 3-Hexylisoquinoline (2b). After purification by column chromatography on a silica gel (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate (30:1, v/v)), 2b was obtained as a yellow oil in 63% yield (13.5 mg, 0.06 mmol), following general procedure C, starting from (E)-2-(oct-1-yn-1yl)benzaldehyde o-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)oxime 1b (38.9 mg, 0.1 mmol).…”
