An environmental-benign methodology to synthesize 1-benzoylisoquinolines from 1-benzyl-3, 4-dihydroisoquinolines or 1-benzyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines using dioxygen as an oxidant was developed. This methodology in combination with Bischler-Napieralski reaction leads to a facile synthesis of 1-benzoylisoquinolines from phenylacetic acids and phenylethanamines.

oxidation of 1-benzyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines (1-BnDHIQs) for the switchable preparation of a wide range of 1-benzoylisoquinolines (BzIQs) and 1-benzoyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines (BzDHIQs) is realized using dioxygen as the oxidant. This protocol provides a facile route for the efficient synthesis of isoquinolinealkaloids. Mechanistic investigations suggest that a radical pathway and an ionic pathway
