A highly efficient and enantioselective access to tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids: Asymmetric hydrogenation with an iridium catalyst

Efficient and enantioselective: Using the iodine-bridged dimeric iridium complex [{Ir(H)[(S,S)-(f)-binaphane]}2(μ-I)3] +I- (1) a wide range of tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids, including the substructure of the pharmaceutical drug solifenacin, were obtained with excellent enantioselectivities and high turnover numbers (see scheme).

Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of 1-isopropyl-1,2,3,4- tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives as novel antihypertensive agents

A series of 1-isopropyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives were synthesized and their bradycardic activities were evaluated in isolated guinea pig right atria. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that the introduction of an appropriate substituent and its position on the 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline ring are essential for potent in vitro activity. Furthermore, the tether between the piperidyl moiety and the terminal aromatic ring is important for potent antihypertensive activity. Oral administration of 6-fluoro-1-isopropyl-2-{[1-(2-phenylethyl)piperidin-4-yl]carbonyl}-1,2,3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (3b) to spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) elicited antihypertensive effects without inducing reflex tachycardia, which is often caused by traditional L-type Ca2+ channel blockers.

A highly enantioselective access to tetrahydroisoquinoline and β-carboline alkaloids with simple noyori-type catalysts in aqueous media

Silver enhancement: A very convenient modified protocol for the enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of dihydroisoquinoline skeletons under aqueous conditions is reported. Unmodified Noyori ligands can be used and the activity of the catalyst is greatly enhanced with silver additives (see scheme). The protocol was used in a very short synthesis of the alkaloids (S)-harmicine and (S)-crispine.

Diastereomeric reissert compounds of isoquinoline and 6,7-dimethoxy-3,4- dihydroisoquinoline in stereoselective synthesis

(Chemical Equation Presented) Chiral acid chlorides were reacted with isoquinoline and 6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline to form diastereomeric Reissert compounds 8-11 and 18-21, respectively. The best diastereoselectivity (80:20) was achieved in formation of the 9-phenylmenthyl derivative 20. The diastereomers of 2-l-menthoxy-carbonyl-1,2-dihydroisoquinaldonitriles (S)-8/(R)-8), formed in equal amounts, were inseparable. However, the individual diastereomers of 2-cholesteryloxycarbonyl-1,2-dihydroisoquinaldonitriles ((R)-11 and (5)-11) and the 2-l-menthoxycarbonyl-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4- tetrahydroisoquinaldonitriles ((S)-19/(R)-19)) were each readily purified. (S)-8/(R)-8 (1:1) via the corresponding anions (NaH, -40°C, DMF) with pivaldehyde yielded in 82:18 predominance the S-diastereomer of 1-isoquinolyl tert-butyl carbinyl l-menthyl carbonate ((S)-12), which was obtained in pure form by a single recrystallization; hydrolysis produced 99% pure S-(-)-1-isoquinolyl tert-butyl carbinol [(S)-16]. Reactions of the anions of diastereomeric Reissert compounds, either as mixtures or pure single species, with aromatic aldehydes and alkyl halides proceeded with at best modest selectivity (diastereomeric ratios up to 66:34 and 72:28, respectively). Therefore, it is concluded that the Reissert anions are either planar or rapidly inverting tetrahedral structures.
