A new variation of the Pictet-Spengler reaction for the synthesis of 1-substituted tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives has been developed. The reaction employs the reduction of N-acylcarbamates by DIBAL-H followed by simultaneous cyclization mediated by BF3·OEt2. The synthetic potential of this metho...
