โฆ Synopsis
Enantioselective synthesis of morphinan derivative 2Qfrom 2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene has been achieved in twelve steps (11 % overall yield).
The morphine-like tetracyclic derivatives morphinans are widely used pharmaceutical agents'. The development of efficient enantioselective approaches to these alkaloids is essential since, in general, their chemotherapeutic properties strongly depend on their absolute co~gurations 2. Thus, for example, levorphanol 1 is a powerful analgesic (aboutfive rimes as active as morphine in humans, both on parenteral and oral 3 administrations) while dextrorphan 2, which possesses the opposite absolute configuration, is a cough suppressant drug 4, free from the undesirable opiate psychomimetic side-effects t.

Enantioselective synthesis of 3-substituted prolines was achieved starting from commercially available 3-hydroxy-(S)-2proline. Palladium-mediated couplings were used to introduce a variety of groups at C3 using the corresponding enol triflate derived from N-trityl 3-oxo-(S)-2-proline methyl ester. C
An enantioselective and stereoselective synthesis of 8-O-4% neolignans is reported in which a natural 8-O-4% norneolignan is enantioselectively synthesized as a single erythro isomer. Furthermore the route has been adapted to allow the enantioselective synthesis of 1,4-benzodioxane neolignans.
## Abstract It has been shown that synthetic (โ)โ3โhydroxyโNโmethylโmorphinane (I) possesses the same steric configuration at the Cโatoms 9, 13 and 14 as the natural morโphine alkaloids, since it can be degraded to the known (โ)โ__cis__โ [2โmethylโcarboxyโcyclohexylโ(l)]โaceticโacid.
The viability of an enantloselectrve route to pseudogualanolrdes has been established with the construction of hydroazulenone 2, whose absolute configuration parallels that of radiatin.
