Chemoenzymatic One-Pot Process for the Synthesis of Tetrahydroisoquinolines
1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinolines form a valuable scaffold for a variety of bioactive secondary metabolites and commercial pharmaceuticals. Due to the harsh or complex conditions of the conventional chemical synthesis of this molecular motif, alternative mild reaction pathways are in demand. Here we p...
