Oxidation of Quinoline Alkaloids Bucharaine, Foliosidine, Evoxine, and Dubinidine by Periodic Acid
摘要
The effect of periodic acid on oxidation of the quinoline alkaloids bucharaine, foliosidine, evoxine, and dubinidine was studied as a function of their structures and the reaction conditions. Periodic acid in dilute aqueous solutions was shown to form stable gem-diols. The use of a large excess of HIO4 formed gem-diols and aldehydes. O-Methyl derivatives were obtained in aqueous MeOH solutions.
