Abstract

3-Methoxy-phenethylamine was subjected to a sequential imination/Pictet–Spengler/demethylation/Boc protection sequence that allowed a one-pot preparation of N-Boc-6-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline 1. This intermediate was elaborated almost quantitatively via an improved triflation/cyanation procedure to its 6-cyano analog 2.
