Alternate and improved synthesis of the cactus alkaloid arizonine

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919208021321

An alternate and high-yield synthesis of the simple tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid arizonine, via the sodium cyanoborohydride mediated reductive amination of 2-benzyloxy-3-methoxyacetophenone with aminoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal, as the key step, is rep
