Abstract

Abstract A new process for the preparation of vincamine and of homologues thereof containing acyl groups of 2 to 6 carbon atoms in the 14position, wherein 1-ethyl-2,3,4,6,7,12-hexahydroindolo(2,3a)quinolizine is reacted with an Alpha -acyloxy-acrylic acid derivative of the formula (R C1 5 alkyl) to obtain the corresponding 1-( Beta -acyloxyBeta -R-oxycarbonyl-ethyl)-1-ethyl-1,2,3,4,6,7-hexahydro-12Hindolo(2,3 -a)quinolizine compound, this is converted by deacylation and reduction into the corresponding 1-( Beta hydroxy- Beta -R-oxycarbonyl-ethyl)-1-ethyl-1,2,3,4,6,7,12,12boctahydroindolo(2,3 -a)quinolizine; the latter is treated with an oxidizing agent to yield a mixture of the desired vincamine derivative and the 14-epimer thereof. The latter can be epimerized in a known manner; by using silver carbonate as oxidizing agent, the epimerization occurs simultaneously.
