Herein, we describe a soluble iron(ii)-phthalocyanine, [FeII(tBu4Pc)(py)2] (Pc = phthalocyaninato(2-)), as an effective catalyst in intramolecular C(sp3)-H bond amination, with alkyl azides as the nit

The lithiation of N-tert-butoxycarbonyl (N-Boc)-1,2,3,4- tetrahydroisoquinoline was optimized by in situ IR (ReactIR) spectroscopy. Optimum conditions were found by using n-butyllithium in THF at -50 °C for less than 5 min. The intermediate organolithium was quenched with electrophiles to give 1-substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines. Monitoring the lithiation by IR or NMR spectroscopy showed that one rotamer reacts quickly and the barrier to rotation of the Boc group was determined by variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy and found to be about 60.8 kJ mol-1, equating to a half-life for rotation of approximately 30 s at -50 °C. The use of (-)-sparteine as a ligand led to low levels of enantioselectivity after electrophilic quenching and the "poor man's Hoffmann test" indicated that the organolithium was configurationally unstable. The chemistry was applied to N-Boc-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline and led to the efficient synthesis of the racemic alkaloids salsolidine, carnegine, norlaudanosine and laudanosine.
