Abstract: | Thiourea itself has been introduced as a mild and efficient organocatalyst for the oxidative α -cyanation of N-aryltetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) with trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN), giving the corresponding products in good to excellent yields. Experimental investigations demonstrated that thiourea acts as a radical initiator by abstracting hydroxyl radical ( | |
