Microwave assisted CpCo(CO)2 catalyzed cross-cyclotrimerizations of 1,7,9,15-hexadecatetrayne with two different nitriles to give unsymmetrically substituted bis(tetrahydroisoquinolines) was studied. The reaction proceeded with a range of alkyl and aryl nitriles with reasonable isolated yields.
Abstractmagnified imageUnsymmetrically 3,3′‐substituted axially chiral bis(tetrahydroisoquinoline) N,N′‐dioxides can be prepared in just three steps. They exhibit unique catalytic activity (turnover frequency, enantioselectivity, substrate scope) in the asymmetric allylation of aromatic aldehydes (up to 96% ee). The product of the enantioselective allylation of benzaldehyde served as a building block for the preparation of an intermediate useful in the enantioselective synthesis of diospongines.

The [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization of 1,7,9,15-hexadecatetrayne with nitriles catalyzed by dicarbonylcyclopentadienylcobalt(I) opened a new pathway for the synthesis of C2-symmetrical bis(tetrahydroisoquinolines) that were used as starting material for the preparation of axially chiral bipyridine N,N′-dioxides. The N,N′-dioxides (1 mol%) were found to be highly catalytically active and enantioselective
