An improved synthetic approach to protopines based on the sequential Hofmann elimination, hydroboration and oxidation of N ‐(arylmethyl)berbinium salts has been designed. By using berberine chloride as the starting material, this sequence of reactions has provided two new nonnatural protopines, N ‐benzyl‐ N ‐nordihydroallocriptopine and N ‐( p ‐methoxybenzyl)‐ N ‐nordihydroallocriptopine and the natural allocriptopine.
