We describe the preparation in a 'one-pot' sequence I-cyclohexylmethyl 7,8-dioxygenated tetrahydroisoquinoline, substituted and unsubstituted in the C ring by application of the Photo-Fries transposition, followed by a tandem reduction-cyclization and further reduction. Indeed, we have accomplished for the first time regioselective hydrogenation of the benzylic ring of the tetrahydroisoquinoline systems. All I-cyclohexylmethyl THIQ synthesized were able to displace D-2 dopamine receptor from its specific binding site in rat striatal membranes, while the N-methylated derivatives showed also affinity for D-1 dopamine receptors.
