First total synthesis of the phenolic 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoprotoberberine alkaloid, cerasonine.

Chem. Pharm. Bull. 56(7) , 1026-9, (2008)

First total synthesis of the phenolic protoberberine, cerasonine, was accomplished through a coupling reaction between o-toluamide and benzonitrile. This key step provided the 3-arylisoquinoline which was then successfully converted to 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoprotob...
