One-Pot Chemoenzymatic Cascade for the Enantioselective C(1)-Allylation of Tetrahydroisoquinolines

[Image: see text] Herein, we report a one-pot, chemoenzymatic process for the synthesis of enantioenriched C(1)-allylated tetrahydroisoquinolines. This transformation couples a monoamine oxidase (MAO-N)-catalyzed oxidation with a metal catalyzed allylboration, followed by a biocatalytic deracemization to afford allylic amine derivatives in both high yields and good to high enantiomeric excess. The cascade is operationally simple, with all components added at the start of the reaction and can be used to generate key building blocks for further elaboration.
