Studies on the syntheses of heterocyclic compounds. Part CDXLIII. An alternative synthesis of (±)-glaziovine by photolysis and phenolic oxidation
Abstract
Photolysis of 8-bromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-7-hydroxy-1-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-6-methoxy-2-methylisoquinoline (12) afforded (±)-glaziovine (1). Phenolic oxidative coupling of compound (12) also gave the alkaloid (1).
