An enantioselective, copper-catalyzed alkynylation of cyclic α,α-diaryl ketiminium ions has been developed to deliver isoquinoline products with diaryl, tetrasubstituted stereocenters. The success of this reaction relied on identification of Ph-PyBox as the optimal ligand, i-Pr2NEt as the base, and CHCl3 as the solvent. A broad scope and functional group tolerance were observed. Notably, the use of both aryl and silyl acetylenes results in high yields and enantioselectivities. Mechanistic experiments are consistent with a dimeric or higher order catalyst.

Superacid-promoted conversion of tetrahydroisoquinolines to triarylmethanes via tandem reactions of C-N bond scission, Friedel-Crafts alkylation, C-O bond scission, and electrophilic aromatic amidation was developed. Dication formation was important for stabilizing the ring-opened carbocationic intermediate, which is a new role for diprotonation in reaction mechanisms. This journal is
