2,3,8,9-Tetramethoxy-11-phenyldibenz[2,3;7,8]indolizine was obtainedinhighyieldfrom (6,7-dimethoxyisoquinolin-1-yl)-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)phenylcarbinol by cyclization in the presence of formic acid. The behavior of (6,7-dimethoxyisoquinolin-1-yl)-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)methylcarbinol and (6,7-dimethoxyisoquinolin-1-yl-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)carbinol was studied under these same conditions. 2,3,7,8-Tetramethoxy-11-phenyl-5,6-dihydrodibenz[2,3;7,8]indolizine was obtained by hydrogenation on rhenium heptasulfide. © 1994 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
