Photolysis of the diazonium salt derived from 1-(2-amino-4-hydroxy-5-methoxy-phenethyl)-7-hydroxy-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-6-methoxy-2-methylisoquinoline (V) gave, 1, 11-dihydroxy-2, 10-dimethoxyhomoaporphine (IX), which was identical with the rearranged product of kreysiginone (VII) by acid. The same reaction of 1-(2-aminophenyl)-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-6, 7-dimethoxy-2-methylisoquinoline (XXI) gave an abnormal product, 3, 4-dihydro-6, 7-dimethoxy-1-phenylisoquinoline (XXV), in addition to the deamination product (XXII) and the phenolic isoquinoline (XXIII).
