1-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-N,N-dimethylmethanamine
To a stirred solution of dimethylamine hydrochloride (6.4 g, 78.48 mmol) in MeOH (100 ml) KOH (1.2 g, 21.38 mmol) was added. When the pellets were completely dissolved, 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (10.0 g, 60.17 mmol) was added in one portion. The resulting suspension was stirred at room temperature for 15 min. Then, a solution of NaBH3CN (1.5 g, 23.87 mmol) in MeOH (15 ml) was added dropwise over 30 min. After the addition was complete, the suspension was stirred for 5 h. Potassium hydroxide (15 g) was then added, and stirring was continued until the pellets were completely dissolved. The reaction mixture was filtered with suction, and the filtrate was reduced to approximately 50 ml with a rotary evaporator while the bath temperature was kept below 40°C. To this concentrate EtOAc (100 mL) and brine (25 ml) were added and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2x50 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (10 ml), dried over anhydrous potassium carbonate and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash

To a stirred solution of 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-N,N-dimethylmethanamine (1.6 g, 8.20 mmol) in THF (30 ml) cooled at 0–5°C a 2.3 M solution in hexanes of n-BuLi (4.1 ml, 9.02 mmol) was added dropwise. After 2 h, a solution of (S)-menthyl p-toluenesulfinate (2.9 g, 9.84 mmol) in THF (10 ml) was added via cannula. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. Then, the reaction mixture was quenched with of saturated NH4Cl (10 ml) and extracted with EtOAc (3 x 20 ml). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash α]D -16.5 (c 1, CHCl3).

The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 12 h. The resulting mixture was quenched with water (10 ml) and extracted with EtOAc (3x15 ml). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash α]D -132.4 (c 1, CHCl3).
(70:30 hexane/EtOAc) to give a pale yellow solid (2.66 g, 68% yield), mp 77–78°C, [(S)-1,2-Dimethoxy-4-methyl-3-(p-tolylsulfinyl)benzene (I)
A mixture of (S)-1-(chloromethyl)-3,4-dimethoxy-2-(p-tolylsulfinyl) benzene (1.72 g, 5.29 mmol) and NaBH4 (1.2 g, 31.77 mmol) in THF (30 ml) was heated at reflux for 18 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with Na2SO4.10H2O and filtered through Celite. The filtrate was evaporated under vacuum and the residue purified by flash α]D -198.2 (c 1, CHCl3).
(80:20 hexane/EtOAc) to obtain a white solid (1.03 g, 67%), mp 127–128°C, [H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 (1.5 for methyl groups) times Ueq(C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The compound (S)-1,2-dimethoxy-4-methyl-3-(p-tolylsulfinyl)benzene was prepared as starting material for the synthesis of the tetrahydroprotoberberine alkaloids (S)-(-)-tetrahydropalmatine and (S)-(-)-canadine following a synthetic strategy similar to that used for the synthesis of (S)-(-)-xylopinine (Mastranzo et al., 2011). The absolute configuration of the levorotatory 1,2-dimethoxy-4-methyl-3- (p-tolylsulfinyl)benzene (I) was determined by X-ray structure analysis. Figure 1 clearly shows that has the (S) configuration at the stereogenic S1 center. The geometry at S1 conforms to that found for related p-tolyl sulfinyl derivatives, it adopts an asymmetric propeller-like conformation having the corresponding Cortho—Cipso—S—O dihedral angles equal to -53.11 (15) and -28.07 (16)°. The dihedral angle defined by the least-squares planes of the aromatic rings is 75.48 (8)°. In the structure there are some intermolecular C—H···O contacts.
