Potassamide induced in situ alkylation of 1-alkyl-4-cyano-3-methoxy-5,6-dihydroisoquinolines (2a & 2b) with alkyl iodides (CH3I, CH3CH2I & cyclohexyl iodide) gave the 5-alkyl- and 5,9-dialkyl-5,6-dihydroisoquinolines (4a-d & 3a-e), isoquinoline derivatives,(5a-b) and diastereomeric mixture of 4- alkyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-3(2H)-ones (6a-e & 6'a-e). Structures were assigned on the basis of spectral data [Mass, H-1 & C-13 NMR, 2D NOESY & HC-COLOC]. Amide induced in situ alkylation of compounds 3a and 4a with CH3I gave in almost quantitative yield the dimethylated compounds 3d and 3a respectively. While KNH2/liq.NH3 methylation of 1,2- dihydroisoquinoline, 1 with CH3I gave the mixture of compounds, 6a & 6'a and the isoquinoline derivative 5a, NaH/benzene reaction of 1 with CH3I gave exclusively Sa. N-methylation of the mixture of compounds 6a & 6'a with NaH/CH3I gave the methylated derivatives, 7 & 8. A suitable mechanism has been proposed for the formation of products.
