Abstract

An improved process for the synthesis of 6-arylindenoisoquinoline derivatives was developed, and the key intermediate cis-N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-oxo-3-phemyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-4-carboxylic acid was stereoselectively synthesized. The intermediate with 6-arylindenoisoquinoline core could be obtained by an one-pot three-component condensation catalyzed by KAl(SO4)2·12H2O. The overall yield of the target compounds was 36%~51%. The improved synthesis method is more suitable for scale-up production with satisfactory stereoselectivity, easily purified procedures and higher yields.
