CAS 86520-96-9: 1-Ethynylisoquinoline

1-Ethynylisoquinoline is an organic compound that is used in organic chemistry as a catalyst. It is formed by the catalyzed reaction of alcohols with iron complexes. This chemical has been shown to be effective in the conversion of benzene, toluene, and xylene into alkylbenzenes. 1-Ethynylisoquinoline has been found to be more active than 2-ethynylpyridine and can be used for the synthesis of isoquinolines. The compound's nature was first discovered by chemists who were studying its catalytic properties. They observed that it was very reactive and could not be handled without gloves due to its corrosive nature.
