An air-stable, simple (RP)-mentylbenzylphosphinate, readily available in large quantities, can efficiently induce the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α-acetamidocinnamates with high enantioselectivity (up to 99.6 % ee). Intramolecular hydrogen bonding plays an important role in this asymmetric induction.

A modification of the Bischler-Napieralski reaction for the cyclization of (1,2-diphenylethyl)amides to the 3-aryl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines is presented.Elimination of the amide group as the nitrile via the retro-Ritter reaction is avoided by its conversion to an N-acyliminium intermediate with oxalyl chloride-FeCl3.Removal of the oxalyl group in refluxing MeOH-sulfuric acid provides the 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines in moderate to high yields.The method is also highly effective with (2-phenylethyl)amides.
