What is isoquinoline?
Isoquinoline has remained an aromatic heterocycle of broad appeal to the synthetic organic, materials science, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical communities. Isoquinoline derivatives have important industrial applications, where they serve as solvents for aromatic molecules, fluorosensors, as components in paints, dyes, and electronic devices. Isoquinoline derivatives such as papaverine have been isolated from natural sources and the isoquinolinoid pharmacore can be found in numerous drugs that possess antitumor, anesthetic, and antibiotic properties.
