A cross dehydrogenative coupling reaction of tetrahydroisoquinolines with 2‐fluoro‐1,3‐benzodithiole‐1,1,3,3‐tetraoxide had been developed. CuBr/TBHP was identified as the best catalyst and oxidant. A variety of coupling products were obtained with good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. 1‐Monofluoromethyl tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives were prepared via a subsequent desulfonylation with sodium amalgam. This method provides a new synthetic approach to α‐monofluoromethyl tertiary amines.
