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

<h4>Background</h4> <p>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 re...
