New zwitter-ionic oligonucleotide derivatives containing 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-7-sulfonyl phosphoramidate group are described. Automated synthesis of these compounds was carried out according to the β-cyanoethyl phosphoramidite scheme via the Staudinger reaction between 2-trifluoroacetyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-7-sulfonyl azide and phosphite triester within oligonucleotide grafted to polymer support. 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinoline-7-sulfonyl phosphoramidate group (THIQ) was stable under the conditions of standard oligonucleotide synthesis, including the removal of protective groups and cleavage of the oligonucleotide from the polymer support by treatment with a mixture of concentrated aqueous solutions of ammonia and methylamine (1 : 1) at 55°C. Oligonucleotides modified by one to five THIQ groups in various positions were obtained. The zwitter-ionic character of the obtained derivatives was reflected in their varying mobility under conditions of denaturing PAGE. The thermal stability of the duplexes of oligodeoxynucleotides containing THIQ groups with complementary DNA and RNA only slightly differed from that of natural DNA:DNA and DNA:RNA duplexes. The results reported suggest that oligonucleotides modified with zwitter-ionic THIQ groups as antisense therapeutic agents.

Isoquinolines are ubiquitous arenes found in many biologically useful molecules. While direct substitution at the heterocyclic ring is uncommon, reductive functionalization to form tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) is straightforward. Herein, we describe a facile method for producing C4-functionalized isoquinolines from a readily available parent THIQ.

Natural products continue to represent a compelling resource for uncovering chemical scaffolds characterised by significant structural variability and diverse biological activities. These compounds possess the potential to be directly utilised or to serve as initial templates for further refinement, ultimately leading to the development of innovative pharmaceutical agents. Among natural products, isoquinoline alkaloids stand out as one of the most extensively researched groups.

The C(sp)-H difluoroalkylation for the introduction of carbonylated CF groups into tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) and isochromans has been achieved by using electrochemical oxidation and organozinc alkylation. This one-pot process proceeded smoothly under transition-metal catalyst- and chemical oxidant-free conditions, and the desired products were obtained in good to high yields with a broad scope, except for -Boc-THIQ. In addition, the gram-scale experiment successfully demonstrated the promising scalability.

We have synthesized 22 C-1 functionalized--aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives showing biological activities towards cholinergic enzymes. Synthesis was performed using visible-light-promoted photo-redox chemistry, starting from a common intermediate, and the application of this synthetic methodology drastically simplified synthetic routes and purification of desired compounds. All synthesized derivates were divided into four groups based on the substituents in the C-1 position, and their inhibition potencies towards two cholinergic enzymes, acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase were evaluated.

This report reviews the most important lipase-catalyzed strategies for the preparation of pharmaceutically and chemically important tetrahydroisoquinoline and tetrahydro--carboline enantiomers through -acylation of the primary hydroxy group, -acylation of the secondary amino group, and CO hydrolysis of the corresponding racemic compounds with simple molecular structure, which have been reported during the last decade. A brief describes the importance and synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinoline and tetrahydro-β-carboline derivatives, and it formulates the objectives of this compilation. The strategies are presented in chronological order, classified according to function of the reaction type, as kinetic and dynamic kinetic resolutions, in the .
