Abstract
The synthesis of 3‐methyl‐ and 3,4‐dimethyltetrahydroisoquinolines from aromatic aminoalkenes using intramolecular hydroamination reactions is described. This reaction was achieved by way of a reductive aminomercuration using mercuric acetate followed by sodium borohydride, or by using sub‐stoichiometric amounts of n‐butyllithium.
