✦ Synopsis


Tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid was oxidatively decarboxylated with sodium hypochlorite, affording a dihydroisoquinoline which on condensation with N-methyl-Alpyrrolinium acetate, and subsequent aerial oxidation yielded 4-(1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)isoquinoline.

Arenine (6, R = H) and macrostomine (6, R = Me) are novel isoquinoline alkaloids which have been isolated from Pczpaver arenariwn2 and P. macrosbmun3 respectively. Although no biosynthetic experiments have been carried out on these alkaloids, which contain a pyrrolidine ring at the 4-position of the isoquinoline nucleus, we consider that these alkaloids are formed from norlaudanosoline-3-carboxylic acid (1) which is formed from dopa and 3,4_dihydroxyphenylpyruvic acid. It is suggested that this compound undergoes an oxidative decarboxylation af-(6)

## Abstract An efficient solvent‐free method for the synthesis of various 3,4‐dihydropyrimidin‐2(1__H__)‐ones using TiO~2~ as a recyclable heterogeneous catalyst is described. Compared to known methods, satisfactory results are obtained with excellent yields, short reaction times, and simplicity in
