Fig. 5: Enantioselective synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinolines.

aReaction conditions: 1) 9 (0.25 mmol), B2pin2 (1.5 eq.), Cu(CH3CN)4PF6 (10 mol%), (S,S)-Ph-BPE (10 mol%), LiOtBu (3 eq.), THF (2 mL), 24 h; 2) NaBO3·4H2O (5 eq.), THF/H2O (v/v = 2/1). Isolated yields; ee values were determined by chiral HPLC. busing Bpin-Bdan as B source.
