Abstract

An efficient modular stereoselective synthesis of highly functionalized tetrahydroisoquinolines and C2 -1,1′-bitetrahydroisoquinolines chiral ligands is disclosed. The synthetic methodology relies on direct stereoselective Pictet-Spengler cyclization between (S)-4-benzyloxazolidin-2-ones and various mono- and dialdehydes using inexpensive sulfuric acid as the catalyst.
