, p. 167 - 179 (2011/07/07)
Asymmetric alkylation of enantiomeric tetrahydroisoquinolyl oxazolines was achieved with 96-97% diastereoselectivity. Removal of the oxazoline chiral auxiliary and further transformations provide a straightforward synthesis of the two synthetic intermediates that were previously synthesized by resolution, and which comprise a formal synthesis of berbamunine by Ullman coupling.

Evaluation of benzyltetrahydroisoquinolines as ligands for neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
Exley, Richard,Iturriaga-Vasquez, Patricio,Lukas, Ronald J.,Sher, Emanuele,Cassels, Bruce K.,Bermudez, Isabel
, p. 15 - 24 (2007/10/03)
Effects of derivatives of coclaurine (C), which mimic the 'eastern' or the nonquaternary halves of the alkaloids tetrandrine or d-tubocurarine, respectively, both of which are inhibitors of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nACh), were examined on recomb
