Abstract

An efficient Lewis acid-catalyzed C(sp3)–C(sp3) bond forming annulation reaction has been developed. This strategy serves as a new method for the facile synthesis of tetrahydro-5H-isoquinolino[2,1-g][1,6]naphthyridine derivatives. A wide range of 2-methylquinoline-3-carbaldehydes and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines can be applied for this process to afford structurally diverse tetrahydroprotoberberine derivatives in excellent yields. (Figure presented.).
