反応手順

Scheme 1 (FIG. 1): Protection of the hydroxyl group in vanillin with benzyl bromide yielded aldehyde 1 is shown in Scheme 1. Henry reaction between aldehyde 1 and nitromethane gave nitrostyrene 2. Reduction of compound 2 with lithium aluminum hydride in tetrahydrofuran (THF) afforded amine 3. The reaction of amine 3 with an excess amount of methyl formate provided formamide 4. Cyclization of amide 4 using phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3) via Bischler-Napieralski reaction obtained 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline 5. Alkylation of compound 5 with iodopropane followed by NaBH4 reduction produced tetrahydroisoquinoline 6 in high yield. Catalytic hydrogenation over Pd/C removed the protective groups of 6 to afford 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-7-ol 7 in quantitative yield. Treatment of compound 7 with Pb(OAc)4 in acetic acid followed by acid-catalyzed aromatic substitution with 1,3-dimethoxybenzene using trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) furnished 8-phenyl-tetrahydroisoquinolin-7-ol 8.
