The use of arene/Ru/TsDPEN catalysts bearing a heterocyclic group on the TsDPEN in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of dihydroisoquinolines (DHIQs) containing meta- or para-substituted aromatic groups at the 1-position results in the formation of products of high enantiomeric excess. Previously, only 1-(ortho-substituted)aryl DHIQs, or with an electron-rich fused ring gave products with high enantioselectivity; therefore, this approach solves a long-standing challenge for imine ATH.

We report herein our mechanistic studies of the ortho-quinone-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines. Two different catalytic pathways were discovered for the reductive half reactions: for primary amines, the reaction was found to proceed via a transamination pathway, while the reactions with secondary amines and tertiary amines proceeded via hydride transfer. We also found that the amine substrates could significantly promote the regeneration of the ortho-quinone catalyst in the oxidative half reaction, in which a proton transfer occurs between the amine substrates and catechol derivatives (the reduced form of the ortho-quinone catalyst).
One-Pot N-Deprotection and Catalytic Intramolecular Asymmetric Reductive Amination for the Synthesis of Tetrahydroisoquinolines

A one-pot N-Boc deprotection and catalytic intramolecular reductive amination protocol for the preparation of enantiomerically pure tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids is described. The iodine-bridged dimeric iridium complexes displayed superb stereoselectivity to give tetrahydroisoquinolines, including several key pharmaceutical drug intermediates, in excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. Three additives played important roles in this reaction: Titanium(IV) isopropoxide and molecular iodine accelerated the transformation of the intermediate imine to the tetrahydroisoquinoline product; p-toluenesulfonic acid contributed to the stereocontrol.
