An enantioselective synthesis of 1‐substituted tetrahydroisoquinolines from L–Dopa methyl ester through intramolecular aryl radical cyclization is demonstrated. The strategy consists of bromination of ( S )‐2‐amino‐3‐(2‐bromo‐4,5‐dimethoxyphenyl)propanoate followed by condensation with various aldehydes to afford bromoimidate ester. Aryl radicals generated from bromoimidate ester under the radical generating conditions ( n Bu 3 SnH/AIBN) cyclizes via 6‐ endo mode to afford cis ‐1‐substituted tetrahydroisoquinolines exclusively in 99% ee. The utility of this synthetic protocol is demonstrated in the synthesis of (6 S , 12a S ) Tadalafil (5 steps, 21%, 99% ee).
