Lewis acid promoted three-component reactions of aziridines, arenes and aldehydes: an efficient and diastereoselective synthesis of cis-1,4-disubstituted tetrahydroisoquinolines
摘要:
A new Lewis acid promoted three-component reaction between the aziridine, arene and aldehyde has been developed. This reaction involves sequential ring opening of aziridine and Pictet-Spengler condensation and gives a broad range of cis-1,4-disubstituted tetrahydroisoquinolines in moderate yields with good diastereoselectivities under mild conditions. The methodology provides a rapid and convergent synthesis for the scaffold of tetrahydroisoquinoline and serves as a good tool for constructing the libraries of substituted tetrahydroisoquinolines.

Iron(III) chloride was discovered highly effective as catalyst in the Friedel-Crafts reactions of electron-rich arenes with imines or aziridines. It was found that reactions of imines were highly substrate-dependent, which generated mono- or double-addition products, while arenes reacted with aziridines regioselectively leading to the formation of desired ring-opening products in 2 min with moderate to good yields.

First examples of C-arylation of aziridines catalyzed by indium triflate
Aziridines react smoothly with arenes in the presence of a catalytic amount of indium triflate at ambient temperature to afford the corresponding P-aryl amine derivatives in excellent yields with high regioselectivity. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
