Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method of synthesizing a (1S,12bS) lactam ester compound, including: subjecting a dihydrocarboline diester compound of formula (II) to asymmetric hydrogenation and lactamization in an organic solvent in the presence of an iridium catalyst precursor, a chiral diphosphine ligand and a halogen-containing reagent under hydrogen atmosphere to produce the (1S,12bS) lactam ester compound of formula (I), as shown in the following reaction scheme, where R1, R2 and R3 are defined in the same manner with the specification.
