Abstract

A concise and efficient three-step strategy for the synthesis of functionalized 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines based on an intramolecular Buchwald-Hartwig α-arylation of β-amino esters is described. The synthesis presented is operationally simple and is amenable for the synthesis of a number of analogues.

Key words

palladium catalysis - α-arylation - tetrahydroisoquinolines - natural products

General Procedure for Buchwald-Hartwig Cyclization: The following Procedure for 4a is Representative In an oven-dried Schlenk tube under nitrogen atmosphere were taken Pd(OAc)2 (10 mol%), Ph3P (20 mol%), and Cs2CO3 (2 mmol) in toluene (ca. 1.5 mL), and the mixture was stirred for 5 min. To this mixture was added ester 3a (1 mmol) in toluene (ca. 3.0 mL), and the reaction mixture was stirred for 24 h at 80 ˚C. Progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC, and, after the reaction is complete, it was quenched by addition of aq NH4Cl and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 20 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by column chromatography on silica gel using PE-EtOAc as eluent furnished the product 4a in 82% yield.
