Reaktionsschritte

(-)-Narwedine (>98% ee, 0.1 g) was added to a mixture of lithium aluminium hydride (1.2 ml of a 1.0 M solution in ether), (-)-N-methylephedrine (0.23 g) and N-ethyl-2-aminopyridine (0.31 g) in ether at 0° C., and the resulting mixture was stirred at that temperature for 4 h. Sodium hydroxide solution (10 ml of a 1.0 M solution) was added and the product extracted with dichloromethane. Evaporation of the organic phase gave (-)-galanthamine (>98% ee, 85% yield) free of epigalanthamine by GC/MS analysis.
