This paper describes a new total synthesis for (S)-2-amino-7-methoxytetralin, (S)-7-MeO-AT, from L-aspartic acid in an overall yield of 10% over nine steps. The major loss was ascribed to a key intramolecular Friedel-Crafts cyclization step, which afforded up to 36% yield. Attempts to perform a Friedel-Crafts cyclization of an intermediate phthalimide protected amino alcohol 13 did not give the desired protected (S)-7-MeO-AT. On the other hand, two new isoindolo[1,2-alpha]isoquinolinone derivatives 14 and 15, were isolated in 21 and 11% yield, respectively. The yield of 15 was improved to 70%.
