Abstract
A convergent total synthesis of 13‐hydroxyisocyclocelabenzine was developed. (3__S__)‐Methyl 3‐amino‐3‐phenylpropanoate (4) was used as the chiral building block. The 3,4‐dihydro‐4‐hydroxyisoquinolin‐1(2__H__)‐one derivative (5), the key fragment for the total synthesis, was prepared by a novel base‐catalyzed lactone‐lactam ring enlargement (Scheme 3). The resulting target C(13) epimers 3a/3b from macrocyclization (Scheme 4) were separated by repeated flash chromatography. The absolute configuration of the synthetic alkaloid was determined by an X‐ray crystal‐structure analysis, which enabled us to determine the absolute configuration (9__S__,13__R__) for natural 3a with positive [α]~D~.
