A one‐pot wonder: 1,2,3,4‐Tetrahydroisoquinolines with a C4stereocenter can be formed by using a one‐pot multicomponent chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed transformation of a mixture of oxetane‐tethered benzaldehydes, amines, and the dimethyl ester derivative of the Hantzsch ester (see scheme). This transformation can be used to prepare the spermidine alkaloid (+)‐(8S,13R)‐cyclocelabenzine.
