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

Abstract: 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 con… Show more

“…In continuation of our recent work on the chemistry and pharmacology of benzylisoquinolines and related compounds [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] we investigated truncated analogues of the bisbenzylisoquino-line alkaloid tetrandrine as blockers of the calcium channel twopore channel 2 (TPC2), and identified 1-benzyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines bearing phenoxy and benzyloxy substituents (SG-005, SG-094; for structures of bioactive compounds mentioned in this text, see Figure S1 in Supporting Information File 1) on both aromatic rings as potent blockers with promising antitumor activity [15]. In this work we took advantage of the hitherto less explored N-acyl-Pictet-Spengler reaction and related chemistry based on the seminal work of Speckamp [16], where an N-acyl residue at the arylethylamine building block leads to enhanced cyclization rates due to the acid-mediated formation of highly electrophilic N-acyliminium intermediates [17].…”
