Question 8 In the first asymmetric synthesis of (-)-(S,S)-homaline, a symmetric alkaloid isolated in the early 1970s, a key intermediate was compound 2 (Tetradhedron Lett. 2012, 53, 1119-1121).

The first step can be achieved via a reductive amination (the nitrogen atom cannot simply be methylated by using Mel, because that would result in over-alkylation, giving the quaternary salt, RaN* N. Then, in the second step, Cl can function as a leaving group in an Sy2 reaction with sodium azide, to afford compound 2. Me NaNg Me HN [H1 NABH,CN Co,Me .cOMe Ph Ph Ph 2
