Abstract

Four 6-phenyl- and 8-phenyltetrahydroisoquinolines were prepared by structural modifications of boldine nucleus. These involved four major reaction steps, including solvolysis of 2-hydroxyaporphine, ozonolysis of the C-9, 10 double bond of phenanthrene nucleus leading to the key intermediate, and final Pictet-Spengler cyclization to respective target products.
