Accessing simply-substituted 4-hydroxytetrahydroisoquinolines via Pomeranz–Fritsch–Bobbitt reaction with non-activated and moderately-activated systems

Background: 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) are common motifs in alkaloids and in medicinal chemistry. Synthetic access to THIQs via the Pomeranz–Fritsch–Bobbit (PFB) methodology using mineral acids for deactivated, electron-poor aromatic systems, is scarcely represented in the literature. H...
