Isoquinoline was first isolated from coal tar in 1885 by Hoogewerf and van Dorp. [9] They isolated it by fractional crystallization of the acid sulfate. Weissgerber developed a more rapid route in 1914 by selective extraction of coal tar, exploiting the fact that isoquinoline is more basic than quinoline.
Quinoline was first extracted from coal tar in 1834 by German chemist Friedlieb Ferdinand Runge; [4] he called quinoline leukol ("white oil" in Greek). [7] Coal tar remains the principal source of commercial quinoline. [8]
The isoquinoline alkaloids are primarily formed in the plant families of Papaveraceae, Berberidaceae, Menispermaceae, Fumariaceae and Ranunculaceae.. The opium poppy, which belongs to the Papavaraceae family, is of great interest, since the isoquinoline alkaloids morphine, codeine, papaverine, noscapine and thebaine can be found in its latex. [3]
Benzylisoquinoline, building block of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids Fruit of Annona reticulata Flower and fruit of the opium poppy. The benzylisoquinoline alkaloids are natural products that can be classified as isoquinoline alkaloids and are derived from benzylisoquinoline.
The major application of the Gabriel–Colman rearrangement is in the formation of isoquinolines, due to the relatively high yield of the desired products. Therefore, studies in which either the product or an intermediate is an isoquinoline, the Gabriel–Colman rearrangement can be utilized.

The bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids are considered the largest group within the isoquinoline alkaloids. [2] The best-known representative of this group is tubocurarine chloride. Other representatives include dauricin, oxyacanthin, tetrandrine, and tiliacorin. [3]
It involves an additional dehydration under the same conditions as the cyclization, giving an isoquinoline. [1] [2] As with the Bischler–Napieralski reaction, the Pictet–Gams reaction requires a strongly dehydrating Lewis acid, such as phosphoryl chloride or phosphorus pentoxide.
