摘要:
The present application describes processes for the synthesis of morphinane and morphinone compounds, useful as pharmaceutical agents. Also included are novel intermediates useful in the preparation of these compounds. The process comprises quaternization of oripavine to provide a mixture of the R - and S -isomeric (at the nitrogen) quaternary salts. The R -isomer is readily isolated and converted to various N -( R )-morphinane and N -( S )-morphinone compounds. The R -isomer, S -isomer or a mixture of R - and S -isomers may be demethylated and converted to various morphinane and morphinone compounds.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for N-demethylation of a tertiary N-methylated heterocycle, particularly a morphine or tropane alkaloids or derivatives thereof. The method, comprises reacting said tertiary N-methylated heterocycle with a metal catalyst, for example Pd(OAc)2 or Cu(OAc)2 in the presence of an oxidizing agent such as oxygen or ammonium persulfate.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a one-pot method for N-demethylation and/or N-acylation of a tertiary N-methylated heterocycle such as morphine alkaloids or tropane alkaloids The method, exemplified by Scheme 1, comprises reacting said tertiary N-methylated heterocycle with an acylatmg agent in the presence of a Pd metal catalyst.
摘要:
The oxazolidine derived from the reaction of oxymorphone with the Burgess reagent, temporariiy protected at 0-3 and C-6, reacts with Grignard or other suitable metallic or organometallic reagents to directly provide, for example, A/-allyl, A/-methylcyclopropyl and /V-methylcyclobutyl derivatives that are further converted into naltrexone, naloxone, nalbuphone and nalbuphine in excellent yields. These morphine analogs can be prepared from the oxazolidine in a one- pot synthesis.
摘要:
A high-yielding method for the N-demethylation of oxycodone- and oxymorphone-N-oxides by the reaction of these compounds with cyclodehydration reagents has been performed. This method has been utilized to improve the synthesis of various morphine analogs, such as naltrexone, nalbuphone and naloxone.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods for the conversion of the thebaine to a morphine derivative, such as hydrocodone. Novel ketal intermediates fo the conversion are provided. A one-pot procedure for the conversion comprises treating thebaine with an acid in the presence of a metal catalyst.
