The alkylation of the two differently fused tricyclic zwitterions 3 and 5 was compared.The linear system 3 was converted into the N-methyl salt 4 on treatment with dimethyl sulfate and into the O-methyl product 12 on treatment with Meerwein's reagent.The angular system 5, in turn, was predominantly transformed into the O-methyl product 14.Theoretical considerations on modified FMO treatment taking into account the lone-pair densities (cn-HOMO) suggested that linear 3 was methylated only at the oxygen position (affording 12) and 4 is a thermodynamically controlled remethylation product.A critical interpretation of cn-HOMO vs. cHOMO is discussed.
