Amines such as 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline undergo redox-neutral annulations with <i>ortho</i>-(nitromethyl)benzaldehyde. Benzoic acid acts as a promoter in these reactions, which involve concurrent amine α-C-H bond and N-H bond functionalization. Subsequent removal of the nitro group provides access to tetrahydroprotoberberines not accessible via typical redox-annulations. Also reported are decarboxylative annulations of <i>ortho</i>-(nitromethyl)benzaldehyde with proline and pipecolic acid. ...[more]
