A convenient and efficient method for oxidative coupling of tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives with trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane and terminal alkynes to 1-trifluoromethylated or 1-alkynylated tetrahydroisoquinolines via C-H activation was developed using visible light irradiation. The protocol uses Rose Bengal as the catalyst, air as terminal oxidant, and the trifluoromethylation or alkynylation was selectively performed at the alpha-position of nitrogen under extremely mild conditions.
