Asymmetric hydrogenation : The title reaction provides an efficient and rapid access to chiral 1‐ and 3‐substituted 1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroisoquinolines with excellent enantioselectivity (see scheme; L=ligand). A preliminary mechanistic study indicates that the 1,2‐hydride addition might be the initial step in the reaction. The method has been used in the synthesis of urinary antispasmodic drug (+)‐solifenacin.
