The half ester (8) prepared from cleavage of 2-(1,3-dithian-2-yl)-4-ethoxycarbonyl-4-ethylcyclohexanone (7) has been converted into (+/-)-eburnamine (20), (+/-)-isoeburnamine (21), and (+/-)-eburnamenine (22) by a stereospecific reaction sequence proceeding via the dithian intermediate (16).However an attempted conversion of (16) into (+/-)-vincamine (6) was unsuccessful.
