A convenient synthesis of the reduced dibenzazonine ring system is described affording laurifonine in 29percent overall yield from homoveratrylamine.The alkaloid laurifine is also accessible in 15percent overall yield (as the oxalate salt) by the same route, which employs a methyl chloroformate-induced ring expansion of an erythrinan-3-one derivative.
