Asymmetric hydrogenation of 1- and 3-substituted and 1,3-disubstituted isoquinolinium chlorides using triply halide-bridged dinuclear iridium complexes [{Ir(H)(diphosphine)} 2(μ -Cl)3]Cl has been achieved by the strategy of HCl salt formation of isoquinolines to afford the corresponding chiral 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) in high yields and with excellent enantioselectivities after simple basic workup. The effects of salt formation have been investigated by time-course experiments, which revealed that the generation of isoquinolinium chlorides clearly prevented formation of the catalytically inactive dinuclear trihydride complex, which was readily generated in the catalytic reduction of salt-free isoquinoline substrates. Based on mechanistic investigations, including by 1H and 31P{1H} NMR studies and the isolation and characterization of several intermediates, the function of the chloride anion of the isoquinolinium chlorides has been elucidated, allowing us to propose a new outer-sphere mechanism involving coordination of the chloride anion of the substrates to an iridium dihydride species along with a hydrogen bond between the chloride ligand and the N-H proton of the substrate salt.

The conformation of the piperideine ring in 1-benzyl-1,2,3,4- tetrahydroisoquinolines was determined as 2H3 form with a pseudoaxial position of the 1-benzyl group by circular dichroism (CD) spectral comparison with 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines. The chiral center at C-1 of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (TIQ) was constructed in an unambiguous manner by applying a new method of TIQ synthesis utilizing the Pummerer reaction as a key step. Enantiomerically pure (R)- and (S)-1-methyl- and 1- benzyltetrahydroisoquinolines (1) were prepared starting from readily available chiral amines (2) in good overall yields.
