Aromatization in the series of opticallyactive 1-benzyltetrahydroisoquinolines has been accomplished with (—)-(S)−(N-nor)-reticuline (1b) and analogs. Direct catalytic or chemical reduction of the isoquinoline 4 obtained could not be achieved in a practical way but 4 was converted into 1 in three steps (4 8 9 1), in 55% overall yield. Partial O-methylation of the isoquinoline 4 gave the isoquinoline alkaloid
