The aerobic oxidative cross-coupling of tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) with diethylzinc catalyzed by CuCl2 has been examined by means of electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Substrates, intermediates, and the product were readily detected. Particular emphasis has been placed on the role of CuCl2 . Formation of the intermediate iminium species has been investigated in more detail by ESI-MS, electrochemistry-coupled ESI mass spectrometry (EC-MS), and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Our experiments have consistently revealed strong influences of the N-substituent of the THIQ derivative and its oxidation stability with respect to CuCl2 . The results may help to expand the synthetic scope of the reaction, while also further establishing EC-MS as a valuable technique for linking mass spectrometry with cyclic voltammetry in mechanistic studies of organic redox reactions.
