Here we disclose the C1 arylation of tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQ) through regioselective C(sp3)-H functionalization using a multicomponent reaction. The reaction was performed by reacting THIQ, aldehydes and aminopyrazoles or indoles under neat conditions with l-proline as a catalyst. The regioselectivity of the products was confirmed by X-ray analysis and spectroscopic data. The formation of an azomethine ylide intermediate is crucial for obtaining the regioselectivity.

Here we report CdS quantum dot (QD) gels as highly efficient and unique photocatalysts for organic synthesis. We found that the photocatalytic activity of CdS QD gel was superior to phosphine oxide- and thiolate-capped CdS QDs for dehalogenation and α-amine arylation reactions because of the high accessibility of its surface sites to the substrates. In addition, we discovered the unique reactivity of CdS QD gel for ring-opening during α-amine arylation of tetrahydroisoquinoline the reductive cleavage of C-N bonds.

Palladium-Catalyzed Enantioselective C(sp)-H Arylation of 2-Propyl Azaaryls Enabled by an Amino Acid Ligand.

Org Lett

Institute for Materials Chemistry and Engineering, Kyushu University, 6-1 Kasugakoen, Kasuga-shi, Fukuoka 816-8580, Japan.

A palladium(II)-catalyzed enantioselective arylation of unbiased secondary C(sp)-H bonds was developed. The enantioselectivity was controlled by the combination of a pyridyl or isoquinolinyl directing group and an amino acid, -Boc-2-pentyl proline. A variety of 2-propyl azaaryls and biaryl iodides were employed to provide arylated products in moderate to good yields (up to 82%) with high enantioselectivities (up to 93:7 er).

A visible light-mediated arylation protocol for amines has been reported through the coupling of - and -amino alkyl radicals with different aryl diazonium salts using Ru(bpy)Cl·6HO as a photocatalyst. Structurally different 9-aryl-9,10-dihydroacridine, 1-aryl tetrahydroisoquinoline, hexahydropyrrolo[2,1-]isoquinoline, and hexahydro-2-pyrido[2,1-]isoquinoline frameworks with different substitution patterns have been synthesized in good yield using this methodology.

Deconstructive functionalization of cyclic amines can provide access to chemicals with diverse skeletons. We report the conversion of tertiary amines to thiocarbamoyl fluorides, a reaction enabled by photoredox catalysis and tolerating different functional groups while avoiding strong oxidants. A one-pot synthetic method from tertiary amines and AgF has been developed to get access to trifluoromethylamines.

This work reports a sustainable protocol for α-arylation of tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) with aryl diazonium salts using a combination of a cheap and stable oxidant, N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI), and an inexpensive dye photosensitizer, Rose Bengal (RB), for the first time. The reaction was performed at ambient temperature using green LED light irradiation under an oxygen atmosphere. The developed α-arylation protocol shows a diverse substrate scope for various THIQs and aryl diazonium salts.
