.[1] It is the saturated form of isoquinoline.

Decahydroisoquinoline can be formed by the hydrogenation of isoquinoline or tetrahydroisoquinoline.[2]

Isomers

There are four stereoisomers of decahydroisoquinoline which differ by the configuration of the two carbon atoms at the ring fusion:

(4aR,8aR)‐cis-decahydroisoquinoline
(4aS,8aS)‐cis-decahydroisoquinoline
(4aR,8aS)‐trans-decahydroisoquinoline
(4aS,8aR)‐trans-decahydroisoquinoline

Occurrence

The decahydroisoquinoline occurs naturally in some alkaloids, including gephyrotoxins and pumiliotoxin C which are found in amphibian skins.[3]

A variety of pharmaceutical drugs include a decahydroisoquinoline ring system within their structure, including ciprefadol,[4] dasolampanel,[5] nelfinavir,[6] saquinavir,[7] and tezampanel.[8]
