berberinium salts was readily achieved by photoaddition of methanol. The resulting photoproducts were isolated as tetrahydroprotoberberine derivatives. By combining this photochemical reaction with the oxidation of the photoproduct, the synthesis of (±)-solidaline starting from palmatine chloride was accomplished for the first time.

The direct insertion of a hydroxymethyl group at position C-8 in a protoberberinium ion by photoaddition of methanol was approached via two mechanistic pathways: acetone-sensitized and single-electron transfer. The latter produces 8-hydroxymethylberbines in good yields after reduction. By combining this photochemical reaction with the oxidation of the photoproduct, syntheses of (+/-)-solidaline and its C-13 epimer from palmatine chloride were accomplished for the first time. On the other hand, insertion of a hydroxymethyl group at position 14 of the berberine skeleton in order to open a synthetic pathway for zijinlongine proved unsuccessful.

The Polonovski–Potier reaction of trans and cis berbines N-oxides was studied. The 8-cyano derivative obtained from transN-oxides were used to synthesize 8-hydroxymethyl and 8-methyl berbines. This procedure was applied to the stereocontroled synthesis of (8R, 14S)-(−)-8-methylcanadine from (14S)-(−)-canadine.
