A versatile and efficient telescoped reaction sequence for the synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) is reported that uses TiCl4 to promote cyclization of a benzylaminoacetal derivative and Et3SiH for reduction of the intermediate 4-hydroxy-THIQ. This method is complimentary to the classical Pomeranz-Fritsch and related reactions since it tolerates electron-withdrawing substituents and allows access to 8-substituted THIQs.

A photoinduced acylation of N-heterocycles is explored. This visible-light triggered reaction occurs not only under extremely mild reaction conditions, but also does not require the presence of a photosensitizer. The mechanistic studies suggest formation of EDA complexes prompt to harness the energy from visible-light. Compatibility with a large panel of α-keto acids as acyl precursors and an array of N-heterocycles clearly showcase the synthetic potential of this handy and green acylation protocol.
