The reductive amination of (R*,R*)-2,2′-methylene-bis-cyclohexanone (1) with methylamine and potassium borohydride affords a mixture of (4aα,8aβ,9aα,10aβ)- and (4aα,8aα,9aβ,10aα)-tetradecahydro-10-methylacridine (2, 3) in a ratio of approximately 1.3:1 in 57% overall yield. By N-demethylation of 2, via the N-nitrosamine 4 the first synthesis of (4aα,8aβ,9aα,10aβ)-tetradecahydroacridine (5) could be performed. The relative configurations and conformations of compounds 2-5 as well as the barrier of conformational inversion of 5 (ΔG#300 = 55.5 ± 0.4 kJ · mol-1) were determined by NMR spectroscopy.
