title: Enantioselective synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinolines via iridium-catalyzed intramolecular Friedel-Crafts-type allylic alkylation of phenols.
abstract: An efficient iridium-catalyzed intramolecular Friedel-Crafts-type allylic alkylation reaction of phenols was developed, affording tetrahydroisoquinolines with moderate to excellent yields, enantioselectivity, and good regioselectivity.
