Aryl-aldehydes containing ortho-substituted α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives react with hydroxylamine to afford reactive N-hydroxy-carbinolamine intermediates that undergo intramolecular aza-conjugate addition reactions to afford isoindole nitrones and 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline nitrones in good yield. Conditions have been developed to reduce these isoindole nitrones to their corresponding hydroxylamine, enamine, and amine derivatives. Isoindole nitrones react with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) via a [4 + 2]-cycloaddition/deamination pathway to afford substituted naphthalene derivatives, while 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline nitrones react with DMAD via a [1,3]-dipolar cycloaddition pathway to afford tricyclic heteroarenes.

We herein report a robust and efficient synthetic route to highly functionalized enantiopure 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) from Garner aldehyde. We utilized the inherent chirality of Garner aldehyde through 1,2- and 1,3-/1,4-asymmetric inductions iteratively to obtain 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstitued THIQs using rigid and isolable bridged oxazolidines without any external chiral sources. All possible stereoisomers of bridged oxazoliodines were efficiently synthesized from L- and D-Garner aldehydes and transformed into fully functionalized THIQs via diastereoselective ring opening with various nucleophiles in the presence of Yb(OTf)3. This methodology furnished four out of eight possible diastereomers of 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted THIQs despite the electronic nature of substituents on the aryl rings. Finally, the enantioselective synthesis of 2-azapodophyllotoxin was achieved with an overall yield of 35.4 % (eight steps) from D-Garner aldehyde using this synthetic route. A concise and efficient synthetic route to highly functionalized enantiopure 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) from the Garner aldehyde via Yb(OTf)3-catalyzed diastereoselective ring opening of bridged oxazolidines is reported. This methodology was successfully applied to the synthesis of four stereoisomers of THIQ and the enantioselective total synthesis of 2-azapodophyllotoxin (1) in eight steps from D-Garner aldehyde in an overall yield of 35.4 %.
