AbstractA method is described for the preparation of (R)‐ and (S)‐2‐ethoxycarbonyl‐1‐formyl‐6,7‐dimethoxy‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroisoquinoline involving a Swerntype oxidation of (R)‐ and (S)‐2‐ethoxycarbonyl‐1‐hydroxymethyl‐6, 7‐dimethoxy‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroisoquinoline (R)‐ and (S)‐2‐(ethoxycarbonyl)calycotomine}. The utility of these aldehydes in asymmetric synthesis of isoquinoline alkaloids has been demonstrated by their conversion into (S)‐ and (R)‐xylopinine, respectively; also, the (R)‐aldehyde has been employed for the synthesis of (8S,14S)‐coralydine.
