Abstract

The aporphine alkaloid (+)-glaucine (8a) and two other analogues 8b,c have been synthesized in good yield and high ee from the appropriate 1,2-diarylethylamine derivatives, which were in turn prepared using (S)-(+)-phenylglycinol as chiral support. Next, a sequence of simple transformations: N-alkylation with bromoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal, N-methylation, Pommeranz-Fritsch cyclization, and ionic hydrogenation led to the key intermediate, optically active, 1-benzyltetrahydroisoquinolines 7a-c. The final C-ring closure step was performed by C-C biaryl bond formation by an hypervalent iodine(III) reagent promoted oxidative coupling, affording the target heterocycles 8a-c in good yields and with no racemization at the formerly created stereogenic center.

Key words
