An expeditious route to furnish an isoquinoline skeleton via hydride shift mediated C-H bond functionalization was developed. In this process, an unusual [1,5]-H shift without the assistance of the adjacent heteroatom took place to produce tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives in good to excellent chemical yields. The formal synthesis of (+/-)-tetrahydropalmatine was achieved by exploiting this new transformation.
