Abstract

1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ) and its derivatives possess a widespread biochemical, pharmaceutical and biological properties and they are the key building blocks in the structure of drugs and natural alkaloids. Accordingly, construction of multi-substituted and polycyclic THIQs through functionalization of THIQs at different positions especially at C1-position have come to the center of attraction in recent studies. In this review, we've focused on the classification of C1-functionalization of THIQs in the research articles from 2013 on, including a brief description of the reaction mechanisms for the synthesis of multi-substituted and polycyclic THIQs based on the type of substituents at the 1-position of the THIQ moiety. From this point of view, the main categories are C1-Functionalization and C1-Functionalization with annulation. © 2021 Wiley-VCH GmbH
