An efficient and high yield process for sp(3) C-H bond functionalization of N-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines is disclosed. This involves a visible light mediated photoredox Ugi-type reaction with carboxylic acids and isonitriles under aerobic conditions, employing Ru(bpy)3Cl2 as a photoredox catalyst and CH3CN as the solvent. CH3CN was found to be crucial for the process, and good to excellent yields were achieved for a wide variety of N-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines, carboxylic acids, and isonitriles. The developed methodology is attractive for the synthesis of a library of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines.
公开了一种用于N-芳基-1,2,3,4-四氢异喹啉的sp(3)C-H键官能化的高效高产率方法。这涉及在有氧条件下,以Ru(bpy)3Cl2作为光氧化还原催化剂,CH3CN作为溶剂,与羧酸和异腈进行可见光介导的光氧化还原Ugi型反应。发现CH3CN对该过程至关重要,对于多种N-芳基-1,2,3,4-四氢异喹啉、羧酸和异腈,均实现了良好至优异的产率。所开发的方法对于合成1,2,3,4-四氢异喹啉文库具有吸引力。
