A twelve-step synthesis of (-)-(R)-sumanirole starting from quinoline is described. The first synthetic approach, using a chiral Reissert adduct, was too problematic to be pursued further. In the second successful approach, the authors took advantage of the stereoselective epoxidation of a 1,2-dihydroquinoline bearing an Evans' chiral auxiliary at N-1. A twelve-step synthesis of (-)-(R)-sumanirole hydrochloride has been developed from quinoline. In the successful approach, the key reaction is a diastereoselective epoxidation of the C-3-C-4 double bond of a 1,2-dihydroquinoline bearing a chiral oxazolidinone-derived auxiliary at N-1.
