T. Itoh et al., SYNTHESIS OF 1,2-DIHYDROISOQUINOLINES BY THE REACTION OF ISOQUINOLINEWITH ALLYLTRIBUTYLTIN OR SILYL ENOL ETHERS IN THE PRESENCE OF N-ACYLATING AGENTS, Heterocycles, 47(1), 1998, pp. 125-128
Isoquinolines were allowed to react with allyltributyltin or silyl eno
l ethers in the presence of N-acylating agents to give 1-substituted 1
,2-dihydroisoquinolines in good yields. When a chiral acid chloride wa
s used for an activator, a high diastereoselectivity was observed for
the addition. The configuration of a major isomer was elucidated by an
X-Ray crystallographic analysis.
