Abstract

A cross-dehydrogenative coupling process has been developed involving the enzymatic oxidation of tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQ) together with gold-catalyzed C–C bond-formation. The transformation demonstrates the compatibility of gold-mediated chemocatalysis and monoamine oxidase biocatalysis which act co-operatively in one vessel. A range of N-alkyl THIQs were functionalized in this manner at C-(1) position in high yields.
