F. N. Cui, J. Q. Li, X. L. Chen and Q. B. Song

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₇H₁₄N₂O, crystallizes as a cis formamide isomer. The isoquinoline and benzene fragments are nearly perpendicular [dihedral angle = 81.79 (18)°], whereas the formamide group is virtually coplanar with the isoquinoline unit [dihedral angle = 1.66 (15)°]. Intermolecular N-HO hydrogen bonds link molecules into a centrosymmetric dimer.
