Abstract

Nitidine chloride was synthesized via reductive amination, intramolecular Heck coupling reaction, aromatization, methlyation and ion exchange, using 6-bromine-3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde and 6,7-methylenedioy-1-naphthylamine as starting material. The key intramolecular Heck coupling reaction was optimized, and acetic acid palladium(II) [Pd(OAc)2], tris(2-methylphenyl)phosphine [P(o-tol)3] and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) system was confirmed as the most efficient conditions. The total yield was increased significantly, and the optimal conditions may also be applied to the synthesis of other benzo[c]phenanthridine alkaloid.
