The aporphine alkaloid N-carbethoxydehydronorglaucine (1) was found to have promising in vitro antitumor activity, but poor water solubility. We report the synthesis of 1, the efficient hydrolysis of its urethane group and the further transformation into several new dehydronorglaucine analogs.
Aryl Radical Cyclizations of 1-(2‘-Bromobenzyl)isoquinolines with AIBN−Bu<sub>3</sub>SnH: Formation of Aporphines and Indolo[2,1-<i>a</i>]isoquinolines
text] Radical cyclization of alkoxy-substituted 1-(2'-bromobenzyl)-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines 1 with AIBN-Bu3SnH gave 6a,7-dehydroaporphines 2 preferentially. A steric repulsion between the respective alkoxy groups at the 7- and 3'-positions gave 5,6-dihydroindolo[2,1-a]isoquinolines 3 in a "disfavored" 5-endo cyclization mode. Radical cyclizations of the related substrates, such as 1-(2'-bromobenzoyl)isoquinolines
Intermolecular benzyne cycloaddition (IBC) approach to aporphinoids. Total syntheses of norcepharadione B, cepharadione B, dehydroanonaine, duguenaine, dehydronornuciferine, pontevedrine, O-methylatheroline, lysicamine, and alkaloid PO-3

We describe a useful novel approach to the synthesis of aporphinoids, including dehydroaporphines, aristolactams, 4,5-dioxoaporphines, and 7-oxoaporphines, by means of intermolecular benzyne cycloaddition (IBC). Specifically, we report the total synthesis of the isoquinoline alkaloids norcepharadione B, cepharadione B, dehydroanonaine, duguenaine, dehydronornuciferine, pontevedrine, O-methylatheroline, lysicamine, and alkaloid PO-3.
