Abstract

Pictet-Spengler condensation of dopamine with (+)-menthyl pyruvate afforded a diastereomeric mixture of menthyl salsolinol-1-carboxylate, from which pure diastereomer was isolated by repeated recrystallizations in ca. 20% yield. Acid hydrolysis of the menthyl ester furnished (-)-(R)-salsolinol-1-carboxylic acid in good yield.
