Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8,9-dihydroxy-6,11,11-trimethyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydro-4H-2,6-methano-benzo[d]-azocine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (0.21 g), K2CO3 (0.19 g) and diiodomethane (54 μL) in dimethylformamide (5 mL) is heated to 100° C. and stirred at this temperature for 2 h. Then, another portion of diiodomethane (54 μL) and K2CO3 (0.18 g) is added and the mixture is further stirred at 100° C. for 5 h. After cooling to room temperature, water is added and the resulting mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts are washed with brine and dried (MgSO4). After removal of the solvent, the residue is purified by chromatography on silica gel (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 1:1).
