Abstract

Amino alcohols were prepared by debenzylation of 1-benzyl-3-hydroxy-3-methyl-6(e)phenyl-4 piperidone ethylene ketals, alkylation with phenacyl bromide, and subsequent reduction of the carbonyl group, and holding the alcohol in a mixture of sulfuric and trifluoroacetic acids yields 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-7(e)-phenylbenzo[a]quinolizin-2-ones. The possibility of recyclization of the latter while boiling in a mixture of acetic anhydride and acetic acid by α-ketol rearrangement or rupture of the C-N bond was demonstrated.
