Abstract

A preparatively simple diastereoselective synthesis of the amino acid chimera (1S,3S)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-1,3-dicarboxylic acid from hexafluoroacetone-protected phenylalanine and glyoxylic acid hydrate via Pictet-Spengler reaction is described. The potential of the reaction of hexafluoroacetone-protected phenylalanine with other aldehydes was scrutinized.
