Abstract

Reduction of the 8, 14-cycloberbin-13-one (7a), derived from coptisine (6a), with LiAlH (OBu^t)₃ gave stereoselectively the alcohol (8a) which was subsequently treated with ethyl chloroformate to afford the oxazolidinone (10a). Hydrolysis of 10a followed by methylation with methyl iodide provided (±)-ochrobirine (1a).
