Abstract

The Pictet-Spengler reaction, an acid-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of intermediate imines of 2-arylethylamine to give 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinolines, has long been limited to active substrates which bear strongly electron-donating groups such as a methoxy or a hydroxy group on the cyclizing benzene ring. In this paper, we present superacid-catalyzed Pictet-Spengler reactions of imines of 2-phenethylamine, including the prototype Pictet- ...
