Redaetioii of propargyHc akohols to alfylic akobok. Corey et at. reported in 1967 that reduction of the propargylic alcohol (1) with 0.1 M lithium aluminum hydride-sodium methoxide (mole ratio 1 2) in THF at reflux (3 hr.) followed by iodination gives speciflcally the >-iodo alcohol (2). Reaction of (2) with dimethylcoppcrlithium affords /r n5,rroni famesol. 

ALLYLIC ALCOHOLS Lithium aluminum hydride-Sodium methoxide. 

Reduction of C C (6, 674). Reduction of 1 with lithium aluminum hydride-sodium methoxide in THF gives the (E,E)-trienol (2) exclusively. Reduction with... 

Methyl-4-hydroxyquinazoline reacts with organic halides, in the presence of sodium methoxide, to give 3-substituted 2-methyl-4(3i/)-quinazolinones. The 0-acetyl derivative of 4-hydroxyquinazoline has been prepared under anhydrous conditions and gives the hydroxy compound with water or with lithium aluminum hydride. The N-3 acetyl derivative, however, is more stable and gives 3-methyl-4(31/)-quinazolinone with lithium aluminum hydride. ... 

Reduction of the 1//-1,2-benzodiazepines 6 with lithium aluminum hydride results in the dihydro compounds 8, which are dehydrogenated to the 3H-1,2-benzodiazepines 9 by 4-phenyl-4//-l,2,4-triazole-3,5-dione.123 The products readily revert to the 1//-tautomers in the presence of sodium methoxide. 3//-1,2-Benzodiazepines react with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid to give mixtures of 1- and 2-oxides, 10 and 11, in which the latter predominate. Treatment of the 2-oxides 11 with nucleophiles provides 3-substituted H- 1.2-benzodiazepines 12. Selected examples are given.124... 

A (Alternative) JCS 3175(1952). 2 g 3-indolyl-acetic acid (preparation given elsewhere here), 1.55 g freshly fused sodium acetate, 5 ml acetic anhydride. Heat 135-140° on oil bath for eighteen hours cool, wash with water and extract with CHCl3-ether (1 4). Wash organic phase with 3X20 ml saturated KHC03 and dry, evaporate in vacuum to get the l-acetyl-3-indolyl-acetone, which can be reduced to the alpha-methyl-tryptophol derivative with lithium aluminum hydride, and then converted to the dialkyl-tryptamine as already described (as can (I)), or used in step B, or reduced to (I) as follows dissolve 1 g in 1 ml 1 N Na-methoxide in methanol and 60 ml methanol, and keep at 40° for 10 minutes acidify with dilute HC1 and extract with ether. Dry, evaporate in vacuum to get (I) (recrystallize-methanol). 

The structure XXII for rhynehophylline has been confirmed, and the relative stereochemistry at C-15 and C-20 has been elucidated, by a total synthesis (80) of (+) JV-methylrhynchophyllane (XXVI) (Marion s N-methylisorhynchophyllane), which had been prepared earlier by methyl-ation of (iso)rhynchophyllane with sodium methoxide and methyl iodide (28). The lactone (XXVII) of threo-3,4-diethyl-5-hydroxyvaleric acid was converted by reaction with phosphorus pentachloride into the corresponding S-chloroacid chloride (XXVIII), which on treatment with methylaniline gave the anilide XXIX. Reduction of XXIX with lithium aluminum hydride gave the aldehyde XXX, which slowly reacted with... 

Derivatives of 1-methyl-3//-l,4-benzodiazepine-2,5(l/I,4/I)dione (193) were synthesized by ring closure of substituted 2-(A-chloro-acetyl-A-methylaminoJbenzamides with sodium methoxide in methanol.209 Treatment of 193 with lithium aluminum hydride led to reduction of both carbonyl groups.209 The parent tetrahydro system (194) has been prepared by reaction of the tosylate (195) with 1,2-dibromoethane followed by hydrolysis.210 The preparation of 194 by another route had previously been noted.204 Reaction of 194 with formaldehyde or benzaldehyde gave a compound formulated as 196 (R = H or C6H5).210 Hydrolysis of 196 (R = C6H5) with 0.1 N hydrochloric acid gave 194 while 196 (R = H) was not hydrolyzed at this acidity. 

Heated to 200° in vacuo, teloidine carbonate (XL) gave 3a,6a-oxido-tropan-7 -ol (XLIII) (47). As a variation 48), 6,7-ditosylteloidine (XLIV) was prepared from 6,7-ditosylteloidinone and solvolyzed in the presence of sodium methoxide to 0-7-tosyloscine. Alkaline hydrolysis or hydrogenolysis with lithium aluminum hydride then afforded oscine (XLIII) in good yield. 

Addition of dichlorocarbene, produced by treatment of ethyl tri-chloroacetate with sodium methoxide, to 3,4,6-tri-O-methyl-D-glucal gave, apparently, one product (gas-chromatographic analysis) in 82% yield. By stereochemical analogy with epoxidations, the product was considered to be l,5-anhydro-2-deoxy-l,2-C-(dichloromethylene)-3,4,6-tri-O-methyl-D-g/j/cero-D-ido-hexitol (21). Demethylation was brought about with boron trichloride at—70°, to give atriol from which a crystalline tribenzoate was obtained and reaction with lithium aluminum hydride caused reductive cleavage of the carbon-chlorine bonds.36 A similar addition was applied to 3,4-unsaturated furanosyl compound (see p. 247).
