With styrenes, norbornenes, and cyclopentadiene, 2-ethoxy-3-methylisoquinolinium ion and its 5-nitro derivative undergo polar cycloaddition more readily than do their 2-methyl counterparts. Characteristic of these cycloadditions is a stereoselectivity which in many instances is 100% and which in nearly all instances is believed to have a polar origin.The discovery2" 5 that 2, 3-dimethylisoquinolinium salts (1) will undergo 1, 4-addition both regioselectively and stereoselectively with alkyl vinyl ethers or cyclopentadiene was of theoretical interest but of limited synthetic value since less reactive alkenes (eg, styrene) failed to react under any of the conditions tried. It was demonstrated that the reactivity of the isoquinolinium salt could be greatly enhanced if a nitro group was introduced at pos-ition 5 (cf. 2), permitting reaction with such relatively unactivated alkenes as/3-pinene or norbornene. 6 A promising alternate approach was suggested by earlier observations7, 8 that 2-alkoxyisoquinolinium salts show high
