During repetition of the Bradsher procedure for the preparation of 3‐phenylisoquinoline ( 1 ) an unexpected by‐product was isolated, 4‐hydroxy‐3‐phenylisoquinoline ( 3 ). This product is likely formed via allylic oxidation of a 1,4‐dihydroisoquinoline intermediate. By minor modification of the reaction conditions, 3 can be obtained in up to 50% yield. This represents a much improved method for the preparation of 3 , as compared with previously reported syntheses.
