    摘要: The present disclosure generally relates to a process for converting a fused, tricyclic compound to a fused, tetracyclic compound that includes a furan ring therein. More particularly, the present disclosure related to a process for preparing a hydrocodone compound, or a compound structurally related thereto, and in particular (+)-hydrocodone, by subjecting a structurally corresponding sinomeπine starting compound to a super acid-assisted furan ring closure reaction. Formula I, II. Examples of super acids useful in the processes described herein include, but are not limited to, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (CF
    3 SO
    3 H), tetrafluoroboric acid (HBF
    4 ), fluorophosphoric acid (HPF
    6 ), fluorosulfuric acid (FSO
    3 H). and fiuoroantimonic acid (HSbF
    8 ), fluorophosphoric acid (FP(O)(OH)
    2 ) as well as combinations thereof.
