Abstract

Lactams la-8a and thiolactams lb-8b, 9a, 10b-l2b, and 13 could be reduced to their corresponding amines in 70-98% yield by using sodium borohydride-tert-butyl alcohol- methanol mixtures under reflux. Even the vinylogous amide 19 underwent reduction to afford deplancheine (18) in 53% yield. The use of this reagent has also been extended to the synthesis of bharatamine (loa), aspidospermidine (12d), and quebrachamine (17).
