摘要
The chiral compound 5H-imidazol[2,3-b]isoquinoline-l-ethanol-5-one-1,2, 3, 10b-tetrahydro- β（S）-phenyl-3（S）-phenyl was synthesized from the direct condensation of 2- cyanophenyacetonitrile with optically active （S）-（＋）-2-phenylglycinol in chlorobenzene under dry, anaerobic conditions. ZnCl2 was used as a Lewis acid catalyst in this reaction, and the structure of this compound was determined by X-ray diffraction, NMR, MS and IR. Crystal data of the title compound： C25H22N2O2, Mr = 382.45, P 21 21 21, a = 5.341（5）, b = 16.735（5）, c = 22.129（5） A, γ = 90°, V = 1978（2）A^3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.284 g/cm^3, the final R = 0.0321 for 2269 observed reflections with I 〉 2 σ（I） and Rw = 0.0771 for all data.
