Structural Revision of the Hancock Alkaloid (−)-Galipeine
dataset

of (S)-N(1)-methyl-2-[2′-(3″-hydroxy-4″-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline,
the originally proposed structure of the Hancock alkaloid (−)-galipeine,
do not match those of the natural product. Herein, the preparation
of the regioisomer (S)-N(1)-methyl-2-[2′-(3″-methoxy-4″-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline
is reported, the 1H and 13C NMR data of which
are in excellent agreement with those of (−)-galipeine. Comparison
of specific rotation data enables assignment of the absolute (S)-configuration of the alkaloid, and together, these data
engender the structural revision of (−)-galipeine to (S)-N(1)-methyl-2-[2′-(3″-methoxy-4″-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline.
