N-Acyl-derivatives are cyclized by a variety of reagents, e.g. P2O5, POCl3, PCl5, etc., to derivatives of isoquinoline, in the Bischler-Napieralski synthesis. For a review, see: Org. React., 6, 74 (1951). Similarly, imines can be cyclized to derivatives of tetrahydroisoquinoline in the Pictet-Spengler synthesis. Reviews: Org. React., 6, 151 (1951); Adv. Het.
