Abstract
The purpose of this review is to compile the synthetic approaches to 2-methyl-4-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines focusing on the published literature from 1970 to present. The review is organized by bond formation and emphasis is particularly placed on the total synthesis, in racemic or enantiomerically pure forms, of the naturally occurring alkaloids cherylline and latifine.
