"Improved simplicity and practicability in copper-catalyzed alkynylation of tetrahydroisoquinoline";
Monatshefte für Chemie, 148 (2017), S. 91 - 104.

Alkynylation reactions of N-protected tetrahydroisoquinolines
have been performed using several
different protocols of cross dehydrogenative coupling.
Initially, a CuCl-catalyzed method was investigated, which
worked well with three different N-protecting groups,
namely phenyl, PMP, and benzyl and t-BuOOH as oxidant
in acetonitrile as solvent. The peroxide could then be
replaced by simple air and acetonitrile for water, leading to
an overall very environmentally friendly protocol. Finally,
a decarboxylative alkynylation protocol starting from
alkynoic acids was also developed using again air as oxidant.
This avoids the use of gaseous alkynes in the
introduction of short-chained alkyne substituents.
