An approach to the synthesis of the multisubstituted tetrahydroisoquinoline featuring an asymmetric Ugi reaction of a-amino acid, aromatic aldehyde and an isocyanide has been developed. The promising utility of the strategy is demonstrated by a synthesis of an enantiopure functionalized 1,3-trans-tetrahydroiso-quinolin-4-ol from natural L-valine. The configuration of the two stereocenters at C-1 and C-4, generated in the Ugi reaction and Pomeranz-Fritsch-type cyclization separately, was controlled very well and determined by NMR studies.
