A Short Approach to N -Aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines from N -(2-Bromobenzyl)anilines via a Reductive Amination/Palladium-Catalyzed Ethoxyvinylation/Reductive N -Alkylation Sequence

N -Aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines are obtained via a convenient and short protocol with a broad range of substituents on both aromatic rings and high functional group tolerance. Starting from readily available ortho -brominated aromatic aldehydes and primary aromatic amines, condensation of these building blocks under reductive conditions gives N -aryl 2-bromobenzylamines. The C-3/C-4-unit of the tetrahydroisoquinoline is introduced using commercially available 2-ethoxyvinyl pinacolboronate under Suzuki conditions. Finally, the obtained crude ortho -ethoxyvinyl benzylamines are cyclized via an intramolecular reductive amination using the combination of triethylsilane/TFA to give the desired N -aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines.

Expeditious approach to pyrrolophenanthridones, phenanthridines, and benzo[ c ]phenanthridines via organocatalytic direct biaryl-coupling promoted by potassium tert -butoxide

A methodology involving a "transition metal-free" intramolecular biaryl-coupling of o-halo-N-arylbenzylamines has been developed in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide and an organic molecule as catalyst. The reaction appears to proceed through KOtBu-promoted intramolecular homolytic aromatic substitution (HAS). Interestingly, this biaryl coupling also works in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide as sole promoter. On extending our approach further, we found that N-acyl 2-bromo-N-arylbenzylamines undergo a one-pot N-deprotection/biaryl coupling followed by oxidation, thus offering an expeditious route to the phenanthridine and benzo[c]phenanthridine skeletons. The strategy has been applied to a concise synthesis of Amaryllidaceae alkaloids viz. oxoassoanine (1b), anhydrolycorinone (1d), 5,6-dihydrobicolorine (2d), trispheridine (2b), and benzo[c]phenanthridines alkaloids dihydronitidine (3b), dihydrochelerythidine (3d), dihydroavicine (3f), nornitidine (3h), and norchelerythrine (3j).

Palladium-catalyzed intramolecular α-arylation of α-amino acid esters

The Pd-catalyzed intramolecular α-arylation of α-amino acid esters is described. Starting from readily available amino acids, the synthesis of a variety of isoindolines and tetrahydroisoquinoline carboxylic acid esters has been accomplished. Additionally, fused tricyclic systems can be efficiently prepared from cyclic amino acid esters. Reaction conditions have been found that allow the use of tert-butyl ester and N-(benzyloxycarbonyl) protecting groups.
