Synthesis of Highly Functionalized Tetrahydroisoquinolines by a Palladium-catalyzed Domino ortho-Alkylation/Heck Reaction Sequence and Diastereoselective Aryne Diels-Alder Reactions

We report a palladium-catalyzed, norbornene mediated synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinolines via a domino ortho-alkylation/Heck reaction sequence. The desired products are obtained in moderate to excellent yields starting from readily available aryl iodides. The reaction conditions can be extended to t...
