The 1-aryl tetrahydroisoquinolines (1-aryl THIQs) are omnipresent in biologically active molecules. Here we report on the direct asymmetric synthesis of these valuable compounds via the reaction of 3,4-dihydroisoquinolinium tetraarylborates. The dual roles of anionic tetraarylborates, which function as both prenucleophiles and stabilizers of 3,4-dihydroisoquinolinium cations, enable this rhodium(I)-catalyzed protocol to convergently provide enantioenriched 1-aryl THIQs in good yields (≤95%) with ≤97% ee, as demonstrated by the formal synthesis of (?)-solifenacin and the facile synthesis of (?)-Cryptostyline I.

Asymmetric hydrogenation: The title reaction provides an efficient and rapid access to chiral 1- and 3-substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines with excellent enantioselectivity (see scheme; L=ligand). A preliminary mechanistic study indicates that the 1,2-hydride addition might be the initial step in the reaction. The method has been used in the synthesis of urinary antispasmodic drug (+)-solifenacin. Copyright
