(3S)-3-Hydroxyquinidine, the major metabolite of the Cinchona alkaloid quinidine, was prepared by synthetic chemical modification or microbial oxidation of quinidine.The structure of this metabolite has been demonstrated to be (3S)-3-hydroxyquinidine by 1H and 13C NMR, IR, UV and mass spectral analysis.Previously published comparisons of the 13C NMR spectra of 3-hydroxyquinidine and model compounds were used to establish the absolute stereochemistry of the metabolite (see ref. 8).This assignment has been verified by single-crystal X-ray analysis of (3S)-3-hydroxyquinidine methanesulphonate.The gas- and solution-phase conformational preference of the metabolite derived from molecular modelling and NOE studies are compared with the conformation observed by X-ray crystallography.

The synthesis of Δ3,10-isoquinine (5Z,5E) and Δ3,10-isoquinidine (6Z,6E) was achieved in one-step through positional isomerization of the terminal alkene in the parent cinchona alkaloids using catalytic amounts of 5% Rh/Al2O3 and excess hydrochloric acid in refluxing 50% aqueous EtOH. The products were obtained in good yields as a mixture of E and Z geometric isomers and fully characterized using spectroscopic methods.
Hydrogenation of prochiral ketones
-
Page/Page column 9, (2010/11/29)
Process for enantioselectively hydrogenating prochiralen ketones to (S)-alcohols using platinum catalysts in the presence of cinchonines or quinidines as modifiers and in the presence of hydrogen, which is characterized in that the modifiers used are cinchonines unsubstituted in the 3-position, 3-ethylidenyl- or 9-methoxycinchonines or derivatives thereof in which the quinoline ring is replaced by other rings.
