A novel method is proposed for the preparation of azolo[b]isoquinolines based on the alkylation of N‑alkyl-1,3-diazoles or 1,3-thiazole derivatives using [2-(bromomethyl)phenyl](phenyl)methanone with subsequent cyclization of the quaternary azolium salts in the presence of base. The 10(11)-hydroxy derivatives of the 5,10-dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-b]isoquinolinium, 6,11-dihydro-5H-benzimidazo[1,2‑b]isoquinolinium, 5,10-dihydro-1H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b]isoquinolinium, or 5,10-dihydro[1,3]-thiazolo[3,2-b]isoquinolinium bromides obtained in this way readily lose a molecule of water upon heating with HBr or Ac2O to give the corresponding quasi-aromatic azolo[b]isoquinolinium salts.
