Abstract

N,N-Dimethyl-3,4-dimethoxy- and methylenedioxybenzylamines were lithiated and the organolithium intermediates treated with paraformaldehyde to give the 2-hydroxymethyl derivatives. The latter were converted to 7,8-dimethoxy- and methylenedioxyisochroman-3-ones through successive reaction with ClCOOEt, KCN and KOH. The isochromanones on condensation with homoveratrylamine or homopiperonylamine, followed by cyclisation and reduction furnished the protoberberine alkaloids.
