Utilization of a benzyl protective group in the synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00503663

The corresponding N-benzyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines, the debenzylation of which is realized by hydrogenation in the presence of Pd black, were synthesized by the reaction of 1-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-2-benzylaminoethanol with aldehydes.
