A new synthesis of optically active tetrahydrobenzisoquinolines is described.Cyclization of N-arylalkylalanines with retention of configuration was achieved by mild intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation.The compounds synthesized this way represent simple analogues of phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids.Some features of the n.m.r. spectra of cyclized and open-chain intermediates are discussed.
