“…Photographic filters were obtained as a result of the Chichibabin cyclization of the aromatic isoquinoline [149]. The reaction of 1-methyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline with bromoacetophenone [150,151] and also the cyclization of compound (LXXIX) with a-chloro ketones, e.g., with chloroagetoacetic ester, are known [152,153] In addition to the Chichibabin reaction, there are a whole group of methods for the condensation of 1methylisoquinoline with various electrophilic reagents, leading to the pyrrolo[2, l-a]isoquinoline system.
