The synthesis of all the possible isomers of the eburnamenine-vincamine type alkaloids 1b, 2a*, 3a and derivatives 4, 8, 9, 10 is described.Structures were determined by 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy including special techniques such as DR, DEPT, DNOE, and 2D-HSC.In contrast to the known cerebrovascular effects of cis-(3S,16S) compounds, trans-(3S,16R) derivatives show a significant peripheral vasodilator effect.

A NEW APPROACH TO (+/-)-APOVINCAMINE

A new approach to (+/-)-apovincamine, 2, is reported which bypasses the formation of (+/-)-vincamine, 1, and includes the dehydration of the β-hydroxy ester 7, obtained by regio-controlled alkylation of the stereochemically suitable aldehyde 6 with methyl chloroacetate.Using ethyl chloroacetate, the clinically useful apovincamine analogue, (+/-)-Cavinton, 3, is obtained. (+/-)-Apovincamine is then converted to (+/-)-vincamine, 1, by base-catalyzed oxygenation of the mixture of (+/-)-dihydroapovincamines 8 and 9.
