Cross-Cyclotrimerization with Two Nitriles as a Synthetic Pathway to Unsymmetrically 3,3’-Disubstituted bis(Tetrahydroisoquinolines)

Abstract

Catalytic cyclotrimerization of a tetrayne with two nitriles in the presence of a cobalt catalyst under microwave irradiation was prepared a series of variously substituted is(tetrahydroisoquinolines)
