A convenient one pot synthesis of 1-, 1.3-substituted 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines 5 enamines 10 and 3-oxo-2,3-dihydroisoquinolines 18 as well as of enamides 22 of isoquinoline from 2-phenyl-, 1,2-diphenylethylamines, phenylacetamides, phenylacetonitriles, N-acylphenylethylamines and carboxylic acids in nonaqueous media has been accomplished.
A common and general access to berberine and benzo [c] phenanthridine alkaloids
Beugelmans,Bois-Choussy

The S(RN)1 reactions between o-iodobenzamides and the enolate anion from 2-acetyl homoveratric acid lead to key tricyclic compounds which are easily converted to either berberine or benzo [c] phenanthridine ring systems providing thus a highly-yielding and versatile access to both classes of alkaloids.
