Tetrahydroisoquinolines are found in many natural products and drug compounds and a convenient method to access 1-substituted derivatives is to carry out the lithiation at C-1 followed by trapping with an electrophile. Here we explore the feasibility of lithiation at C-3 by using a substrate with a benzylic proton on both sides of the nitrogen atom such that lithiation with nBuLi could occur at either C-1 or C-3 of the tetrahydroisoquinoline. The regioselectivity in the lithiation was determined using the substrate N-tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc)-3-phenyltetrahydroisoquinoline. The lithiation could be followed by in situ ReactIR spectroscopy and the rate of rotation of the carbamate group was determined (barrier to rotation was approximately ΔG? 58 kJ/mol at –50 °C). Subsequent trapping of the organolithium species with an electrophile gave a mixture of two regioisomeric products with a preference for reaction at C-1. This led to the isolation of 1,3-disubstituted tetrahydroisoquinolines with trans relative stereochemistry. Removal of the Boc group from the nitrogen atom gave secondary and tertiary amine products.

Classical cyclization procedures for the synthesis of 3-arylisoquinolines are fraught with complications. Here, we present the application of an N-acyliminium cyclization to such target molecules. N(1,2-diarylethyl)formamides 1, 4a-4d, and 4f were cyclize
THERMAL HETEROCYCLIZATION OF METHYL ARYL KETAZINES. REACTIONS OF THE TAUTOMERIC ENEHYDRAZINE FORM

Over the temperature range 220-280 deg C the thermal reactions of methyl aryl ketazines (Ar=C6H5-, 4-CH3C6H4-, 4-CH3OC6H4-, and α-naphthyl-) proceed with their cyclization to give pyrazoline and benzodiazepine derivatives.With an increase in temperature to 320-350 deg C the subsequent transformations of these compounds lead to the formation of substituted pyrazoles, 1-methyl-1,2-diarylcyclopropanes isomeric olefins, low-molecular-weight aromatic hydrocarbons, and isoquinolines.
