This study concerns the preparation of a new eburnamine-type alkaloid, methyl (3α,14β,15β,16α)-17,18-didehydro-14,15- dihydroeburnamine-15-methoxy-14-carboxylate (VIII). This alkaloid was prepared from (+)-17,18-dehydroapovincamine (V) using Lewis acid and/or ion exchange resin as catalyst. The hydroalkoxylation reaction of V with methanol was investigated in terms of catalyst, solvent, temperature, and time of reaction. A one-pot method for synthetising this alkaloid was established. The optimal conditions for the reaction are discussed.
