Abstract
The protoberberine alkaloid, xylopinine (12), has been synthesised in an optically active form, a key reaction being the photochemical cyclisation of optically active 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6,7-dimethoxy-3-methoxycarbonyl-1-methylene-2-veratrolisoquinoline (4) with 1,3-asymmetric induction.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
