Convenient method for syntheses of erythrinan alkaloids

Abstract
A new synthetic route to erythrinan alkaloids was developed, via the cis-c/D-ring fused 15-methoxy-16-hydroxydioxoerythrinan-2,8-dione (III) as the key intermediate, from the enol methyl derivative (II) which was obtained by Birch reduction of the benzyl amide (I).
