Studies on 5-Bromo-4,7-dimethylindene, an Intermediate in the Synthesis of 6-Bromo-5,8-dimethylisoquinoline

Abstract

We report the complete characterisation of all the precursors of 6-bromo-5,8-dimethylisoquinoline via the synthesis of Miller and Moock, and the synthesis of 6-bromo-4,7-dimethyl-2-(5′-Bromo-4’,7′-dimethyl)-2’,3′-dihydro-1' H-inden-1′-yl)-1 H-indene.
