Friedel-crafts cyclization of N,N-dibenzylethylenediamines

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919708004118

An efficient synthesis of substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines is described. N,N-dibenzylethylenediamines smoothly under go Friedel-Crafts cyclization in the presence of anhydrous aluminum chloride in decalin to give 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines.
