The lithiation of N‐tert‐butoxycarbonyl (N‐Boc)‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroisoquinoline was optimized by in situ IR (ReactIR) spectroscopy. Optimum conditions were found by using n‐butyllithium in THF at −50 °C for less than 5 min. The intermediate organolithium was quenched with electrophiles to give 1‐substituted 1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroisoquinolines. Monitoring the lithiation by IR or NMR spectroscopy showed that
的锂化ñ -叔丁氧羰基(Ñ -Boc)-1,2,3,4-四氢异喹啉用原位IR(的ReactIR)光谱进行了优化。通过在-50°C下于THF中使用正丁基锂少于5分钟发现了最佳条件。用亲电子试剂淬灭中间体有机锂,得到1-取代的1,2,3,4-四氢异喹啉。通过IR或NMR光谱监测锂化表明,一个旋转异构体反应迅速,并且通过可变温度NMR光谱确定了Boc基团的旋转势垒,发现其约为60.8 kJ mol -1,相当于在−50°C下旋转约30 s的半衰期。(-)-天冬氨酸作为配体的使用在亲电淬灭后导致低水平的对映选择性,“穷人霍夫曼试验”表明有机锂在构型上不稳定。该化学方法应用于N -Boc-6,7-二甲氧基-1,2,3,4-四氢异喹啉,并导致外消旋生物碱salsolidine,carnegine,norlaudanosine和laudanosine的有效合成。
