Abstract

The Preininger-alkaloid, dehydro-normacrostomine (2b, Scheme 1) was synthesized starting from rac. alpha-acetyl-3,4-dimethoxybenzylcyanide (3) (Scheme 2). The key intermediate 4-acetyl-6,7-dimethoxy-1-(3,4-methylene-dioxybenzyl)isoquinoline (11) is converted via a Mannich base to the nitrile 17 (Scheme 7) which in turn is cyclized to the Preininger-alkaloid (2b) by careful hydrogenation. - Reduction of 2b with a modified Iwakuma-reagent, followed by N-formylation and subsequent LiA1H4-reduction produced (R)-(+)-macrostomine (enantiomer of 1) in 72 % optical purity.
