ChemInform Abstract: Radical Intramolecular Arylation of Pyridinium Salts: A Straightforward Entry to 7‐Hydroxypyrido[2,1‐a]isoquinolinylium Salts.

Abstract The preparation of a series of compounds containing a hydroxyquinolizinium fragment fused to a benzene ring starts from the appropriate pyridinium salt, and proceeds through an aryl radical cyclization onto the pyridinium part.
