Reaction Steps

One compound provided in accordance with the present invention is (±)-8,9-dihydroxy-2,3,7,11b-tetrahydro-1H-naphtho[1,2,3-de]isoquinoline denominated hereinafter as "dinapsoline." Dinapsoline is synthesized from 2-methyl-2,3-dihydro-4(1H)-isoquinolone according to the procedure depicted generally in FIGS. 1 and 2. Side chain bromination of ethyl-o-toluate (5a) with NBS in the presence of benzoyl peroxide produced compound 5b. Alkylation of sarcosine ethyl ester with compound 5b afforded compound 6, which after Dieckmann condensation and subsequent decarboxylation on acidic hydrolysis yielded compound 7.
