Abstrakt: The concise and efficient first total synthesis of 6- O -methyl anciscochine, employing a tandem C–C/C–N formation approach via a rhodium-catalyzed C–H activation/alkenylation/annulation strategy, is reported. This heterocycle was isolated from the liana Ancystrocladus tectorius and features a unique 3-hydroxymethylisoquinoline core that is found in a few other natural products and in some bioactive synthetic compounds. The synthesis, which was executed in four high-yielding steps and a global yield of 43%, involved the oximation of commercial 2,4-dimethoxyacetophenone under CeCl3 ·7H2 O-promotion, followed by pivaloylation of the oxime. A one-pot pivaloxime-directed alkenyl-ation/annulation stage with methyl acrylate, furthered by a NaBH4 / CaCl2--mediated reduction of the resulting isoquinoline 3-carboxylate ester completed the sequence.
