33. Mann and Hinton (see: Mann, F. G.; Hinton, I. G. J. Chem. Soc. 1959, 599-610) reported that the phenylhydrazone of 2-methyl-4-oxo-1,2,3,4- tetrahydroisoquinoline gave the 2-methyl-4-aminoisoquinolium salt when heated in ethanolic HCl, preventing the successful application of the Fischer indolization reaction. Cook and co-workers (11) obtained 4-amino-β- carboline derivatives along with Fischer indole products from the reaction of 2-benzoyl-4-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline with phenylhydrazine in ethanolic HCl
