In the course of an attempted synthesis of E ‐norvincamine ( 4 ) (−)‐15‐oxovincamone ( 7 ), prepared from (−)‐vincamone ( 2 ), was converted by means of methanolic sodium methoxide to give the (−)‐ 11 ‐ cis and (±)‐ 12 ‐ trans alcohols. Alkaline hydrolysis of the dioxo compound 7 furnishes the α‐oxo acids 8 and 9 as a result of an epimerization‐racemization process.
