✦ Synopsis
The reaction of the dianionic intermediate [resulting from the reductive opening of phthalan (1) with lithium] with chiral N-tert-butylsulfinyl aldimines 3 in the presence of ZnMe 2 gives, after hydrolysis, N-tert-butylsulfinyl amino alcohols 4 with high diastereoselectivity. Successive treatment of compounds 4 with hydrogen chloride in methanol, thionyl chloride in chloroform and sodium hydroxide yields 3substituted tetrahydroisoquinolines 6.
