Rapid assembly of saturated nitrogen heterocycles - the synthetically more challenging variants of their aromatic relatives - can expedite the synthesis of biologically relevant molecules. Starting from a benzylic alcohol tethered to an unactivated alkene, an iron-catalyzed tandem alcohol substitution and hydroamination provides access to tetrahydroisoquinolines in a single synthetic step. Using a mild iron-based catalyst, the combination of these operations forms two carbon-nitrogen bonds and provides a unique annulation strategy to access this valuable core.
Concise route to 3-arylisoquinoline skeleton by lewis acid catalyzed c(sp3)-h bond functionalization and its application to formal synthesis of (±)-Tetrahydropalmatine

An expeditious route to furnish an isoquinoline skeleton via hydride shift mediated C-H bond functionalization was developed. In this process, an unusual [1,5]-H shift without the assistance of the adjacent heteroatom took place to produce tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives in good to excellent chemical yields. The formal synthesis of (±)-tetrahydropalmatine was achieved by exploiting this new transformation.
