Abstract
The scope and limitations of three independent though related routes l eading to 5-substituted tetrahydroisoquinolines are explored : the Pid et-Spengler type cyclization of ortho-substituted 2-phenylethylamines, the Pomeranz-Fritsch type cyclization of meta-substituted benzylamine s and the electrophilic trapping of 5-lithiated 4-lithiooxytetrahydroq uinolines. The introduction of the substituent relies in all three cas es on a neighboring group assisted site selective metalation step. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
