Optically active 4-substituted tetrahydroisoquinolines were synthesized via intramolecular Friedel-Crafts (FC) reactions of aziridinium ions in a highly regio- and stereoselective manner. Control experiments suggest the formation and ring-opening of aziri

A new chemoenzymatic method is proposed for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure 4-phenyl-1,4-dihydro-2H-isoquinolines based on the enzymatic kinetic resolution of 2-acetyl-4-phenyl-1,4-dihydro-2H-isoquinolin-3- one. For the enzymatic resolution of the racemic substrate, readily available 'home made' animal liver acetone powders (LAPs) were used. Excellent enantioselectivity, exceeding 500, was achieved in a short reaction time upon application of turkey liver acetone powder as the biocatalyst. Reduction of obtained product led to the formation of amine (R)-1, which is hardly available using standard procedures. These results show that N-acetyl lactams are a new type of substrate for enzymatic biotransformations.

Highly diastereoselective conjugate addition of aryllithium to β-nitrostyrene derivative, having chiral acetal moiety derived from (S,S)-1,2-bis(1-hydroxypropyl)benzene, was achieved. The adduct was transformed to 4-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline in

Optically active 1,2-dimethyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-4- ols (1R,4R-3a and 1S,4S-3b, 1S,4R-4a, and 1R,4S-4b) and 2-methyl-4-phenyl- 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines (4S-5a and 4R-5b) were prepared in order to examine the effects of the 1-, 3-, and 4-substituents of 2-methyl-4-phenyl- 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-4-ol (PI-OH) (1) on the enantioselectivity for norepinephrine (NE) potentiating activity. The conformations and absolute configurations of 3-5 were determined from their 1H-NMR and circular dichroism (CD) spectra and by single-crystal X-ray diffractometric analysis. The NE potentiating activity of the optically active 3-5 and previously prepared 3-methyl derivatives (3R,4R-6a and 3S,4S-6b) of PI-OH were tested. The results show that compounds 3, 4, and 6 had high enantioselectivity for NE potentiation: the 4R series of the enantiomers exhibited activity but not the 4S-enantiomers. The activity of the 4-desoxy compound 5 also resided exclusively in the 4S-enantiomer. These findings suggest the presence of a specific receptor for NE uptake, and the enantiomers 3a, 4a, 5a, and 6a may be antagonistic at this NE uptake receptor.
