Abstract

2, 3, 8, 9-Tetramethoxy-5, 6, 11, 12-tetrahydrodibenzo [a, e] cycloocten-5-one (2) was transformed by Baeyer-Villiger oxidation to the substituted 6-oxodibenzo [b, f] oxinin 6. One- pot Beckmann or Schmidt rearrangements of 2 afforded the 6-oxodibenzo [b, f]-azonine 8 which was reduced by BH3-THF to the tricyclic amine 14. Parallel reactions with desoxyveratroin gave the ester 7 or amide 12 from preferential migration of the 3, 4- ...
