Abstract

A novel dimeric chiral Cu(I) amino alcohol based in-situ generated catalyst in combination with Rose Bengal as a photo-redox catalyst were used for the first time for asymmetric cross dehydrogenative coupling of N-aryl tetrahydroisoquinoline with terminal alkynes enroute for propargylic amines synthesis using molecular oxygen as a terminal oxidant. This methodology provides an atom economical and green way to access diversified optically active alkynylation product selectively at C1-position of N-aryl tetrahydroisoquinoline under moderate conditions with high enantioselectivity (up to 99%) and excellent yield (up to 90%).
