Super Acid-Induced Pummerer-Type Cyclization Reaction: Improvement in the Synthesis of Chiral 1,3-Dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines

Abstract: Improved synthesis of four stereoisomeric chiral 1,3-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines (1a, b, ent-1a, b) was achieved via the super acid-induced cyclization of chiral N-[1-methyl-2-(phenylsulfinyl)ethyl]-N-(1-phenylethyl)formamides (4a, b, ent-4a, b) using the Pummerer-type cyclization reaction as a key step. The cyclization leading to the isoquinoline ring proceeded in a quantitative manner when trifluoromethane sulfonic acid (TFSA) was used as the super acid, although Friedel-Crafts-type alkylation o… Show more

“…19 , Scheme ) might be doubly charged. Nevertheless, some precedent for this type of doubly cationic intermediate is known, and so Pummerer-based oxidative cyclizations with 24a − 24c were explored. These dihydrooroidin derivatives in particular were selected with the expectation that the bromination pattern on the pyrrole ring might influence the nucleophilicity at C(3) in an exploitable manner.…”

“…We previously reported that deprenyl, a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor, and its structural analogue could selectively block the nuclear GAPDH cascade in cells by inhibiting GAPDH-Siah1 protein interaction ( 15 ). We performed extended screening of structural analogues of deprenyl, and identified more potent and selective blockers of GAPDH-Siah1 binding ( 16 ). One of the most promising compounds was (1R, 3R)-1, 3-dimethyl-2-propargyl-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (designated RR in the present manuscript) ( Fig.…”

“…Homochiral β-amino sulfoxides and derivatives of them represent a set of sulfoxides that have been used in organocatalysis, as ligands in organometallic chemistry, and as valuable precursors of larger synthetic targets. Furthermore, the β-amino sulfoxide unit has been recognized and assembled as a constituent of many biologically and/or medicinally important compounds. …”

“…The oxidation of homochiral β-amino sulfides has been employed the most extensively, presumably since the protocol gives the most rapid access to sulfoxide by way of a readily accessible amino sulfide ( D ). ,, ,,− , Surprisingly, despite the presence of the stereogenic carbon, the diastereoselection of oxidation protocols has only rarely exceeded dr values of 90%. ,, In most cases, ratios range from 1:1 to 3:2, ,,,,,, , and on many occasions, diastereoselectivities are not even reported or acknowledged. ,,,, In the few instances when an asymmetric oxidizing agent was employed to complement the stereogenic carbon in the substrate, selected de values reach 95% but only for particular substrates and conditions. , …”
