Lithium aluminum hydride reduction of the oximes derived from quinidinone (IIIa) and cinchonidinone has been used to obtain 9-amino-(9-deoxy) quinidine (IIb) and the corresponding 9-amine in the cinchonine series. Based on optical rotatory dispersion measurements, tentative stereochemical assignments for the amines have been proposed. A major objective of the present study, synthesis of 9-(benzyloxycarbonylthreonylseryl) ...
