Reaction Steps

If the isomerisation of 16-epivincamine described in Example 4 is repeated but using 177 mg. (0.5 millimole) of 16-epivincamine in 20 ml. of methanol and 130 mg. (0.2 millimole) of a 40% aqueous solution of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (formula (I)b), and the mixture is allowed to stand for 5 hours at 25°C. 64 mg. of vincamine are obtained (yield 36%).
