摘要

A new, convergent total synthesis of (+/-)-alpha-noscapine was developed on a grams scale through the condensation of 3-trimethylsilyl-meconin derivative 9 and the iodized salt cotarnine derivative 20 as the key step. Staring from simple 2,3-dimethoxybenzoic acid, piperonal and 2,2-dimethoxyethanamine, through the traditional chemical processes to give the final product in 11.6% yield over 14 steps.
