A stereoselective synthesis of the ACNO partial structures of morphine has been developed. Palladium-catalyzed cyclization of carbamate 2 provided the tetracyclic (ACNO) 3-ethoxycarbonyl-9-methoxy-2,3,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-1H-benzofuro[3,2-e]isoquinoline ( 14 ); while treatment of 5-(2-bromo-6-methoxyphenoxy)-2-methyl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroisoquinoline ( 8 ) under the same reaction condition gave 8a-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,3,4,6,7,8,8a-octahydroisoquinoline ( 11 ) via an unusual Claisen rearrangement. 9-Methoxy-3-methyl-2,3,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-1H-benzofuro[3,2-e]isoquinoline ( 7 ) was successfully transformed to trans-octahydroisoquinoline 3 and cis-octahydroisoquinoline 4 via catalytical hydrogenation over PtO2 and chemical reduction with acidic NaBH4, respectively. |
