ABSTRACT:
N-substituted-14-hydroxy-3-substituted-morphinan derivatives have been found to possess potent narcotic agonist or antagonist activity. In particular, the compound N-Cyclobutylmethyl-3,14-dihydroxymorpinan has been found to posess potent agonist/antagonist activity as a non-narcotic analgesic. An improved total snythesis of these compounds is described herein from the starting material 2-(p-methoxybenzyl)-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydroisoquinoline. A preferred feature of the process involves borane reduction of 2-cyclobutylcarbonyl-9,10-dihydroxy-1-(p-methoxybenzyl)perhydroisoquinolin e (Va) to provide the corresponding cyclobutylmethyl derivative complexed with borane which is converted directly to N-cyclobutylmethyl-14.beta.-hydroxy-3-methoxymorphinan (LVa) by treating with acid.
