Solvent-free asymmetric cross-dehydrogenative-coupling (CDC) reaction between the sp(3) C-H bond of prochiral CH2 and terminal alkynes was first studied under High-Speed Ball-Milling conditions. A series of optical active 1-alkynyl tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives were achieved by using recoverable copper balls together with PyBox chiral ligand in the presence of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ). All coupling products were obtained in good yields at short reaction time with enantiomeric excesses up to 79%. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
