A convenient and general asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of a wide array of 1-aryl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline derivatives using a [RuIICl(η6-benzene)TsDPEN] complex in combination with a 5:2 HCOOH-Et3N azeotropic mixture as a hydrogen source was developed. Under mild reaction conditions, the described catalytic transformation secured a practical synthetic access to the corresponding valuable chiral 1-aryltetrahydroisoquinoline units with high atom economy, a broad substrate scope, high isolated yields (up to 97%) and good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). It was found that the stereochemical outcome of the reaction was strongly influenced by both the structure of the catalyst and the substituents present on the substrate. The synthetic utility of the present protocol has been demonstrated through the asymmetric synthesis of several biologically important alkaloids including the antiepileptic drug agent 1c, as well as (-)-nor-cryptostyline alkaloids I and II.

Convenient synthesis and useful application of a series of Josiphos-type binaphane ligands were described. The iridium complexes of these chiral diphosphines displayed excellent enantioselectivity and good reactivity in the asymmetric hydrogenation of challenging 1-aryl-substituted dihydroisoquinoline substrates (full conversions, up to >99% ee, 4000 TON). The use of 40% HBr (aqueous solution) as an additive dramatically improved the asymmetric induction of these catalysts. This transformation provided a highly efficient and enantioselective access to chiral 1-aryl-substituted tetrahydroisoquinolines, which were of great importance and common in natural products and biologically active molecules.

A series of 1-aryl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline inhibitors of JNK3 are described. Compounds 20 and 24 are the most potent inhibitors (pIC50 7.3 and 6.9, respectively in a radiometric filter binding assay), with 10- and 1000-fold selectivity over JNK2 and JNK1,
