Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
The process which comprises reducing with a metal hydride in an inert solvent a compound of the formula ##SPC8## wherein alk and alk' are the same or different (C 1 -C 3 ) alkyl groups to yield an 8-hydroxymethyl-8-ergolene of the formula ##SPC9## wherein alk has the same meaning as hereinabove; rearranging said 8-hydroxymethyl-8-ergolene in aqueous acid, in an alkanolic (alkOH) acid or in an acidic (alkCOOH) medium to yield, respectively, penniclavine (R=H), an 8α-alkylpenniclavine ether (R=alk) or 8α-alkanoyl penniclavine ester (R=alk--CO) of the formula ##SPC10## wherein R is H, alk or alk-CO, and alk is (C 1 -C 3 ) alkyl.
