Abstract
Three isoquinoline alkaloids. (-)-salsolidine 2. (+)-carnegine 6 and (-)-1- phenyl-2-methyl-6.7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline 7. were obtain ed in high yield and with 17-46% e.e. by the enantioselective additions of organolithium reagents to dihydroisoquinolines 1 and 5. in the presence of (-)-sparteine as a chiral ligand.
