Abstract

ABSTRACT A simple procedure for the preparation of 1, 7-disubstituted-1, 2, 3, 4- tetrahydroisoquinolines from 3, 4-dihydroisoquinoline (2) is presented. This strategy overcomes the limitation of cyclisation approaches which generally require electron rich ring systems. A variety of 1-substituents has been incorporated using the appropriate organometallic or activated methylene nucleophile to prepare both electron rich (7a–f) ...
