摘要
Summary of main observation and conclusion Tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives are useful synthetic intermediates,which play an important role in the preparation of natural products,pharmaceuticals and other materials.Herein,we report an unprecedented redox-neutral aza-benzoin protocol to construct such scaffold.Upon exposure of tetrahydroisoquinolines to aromatic aldehydes in the prese nee of an NHC catalyst,the C-l acylated tetra hydroisoquinolines were obtained in moderate to good yields.
