NEW SYNTHESIS OF PHTHALIDEISOQUINOLINE ALKALOIDS VIA A STEREOSELECTIVE HYDRIDE REDUCTION OF 1-(2'-BROMOBENZOYL)-3,4-DIHYDROISOQUINOLINE METHIODIDE, FOLLOWED BY PALLADIUM-CATALYZED CARBONYLATION AIDED BY CHLOROTRIMETHYLSILANE
K. Orito et al., NEW SYNTHESIS OF PHTHALIDEISOQUINOLINE ALKALOIDS VIA A STEREOSELECTIVE HYDRIDE REDUCTION OF 1-(2'-BROMOBENZOYL)-3,4-DIHYDROISOQUINOLINE METHIODIDE, FOLLOWED BY PALLADIUM-CATALYZED CARBONYLATION AIDED BY CHLOROTRIMETHYLSILANE, Synlett, (4), 1994, pp. 245-246
A new method for the synthesis of phthalideisoquinoline alkaloids by t
he stereoselective reduction of 1-(2'-bromobenzoyl)-3,4-dihydroisoquin
oline methiodide (4a) with sodium borohydride or lithium aluminium hyd
ride, followed by a palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of the resultant
erythro or threo alcohol (6a,7) in the presence of chlorotrimethylsil
ane, is reported.
