The hydrophenanthrenone approach to the synthesis of morphinane alkaloids such as (-)-dihydrocodeinone ( 16) is described. Optical activity is achieved by chiral resolution of the hydrophenanthrenone derivative 6 on cellulose triacetate. Key steps of the thirteen-step synthesis are the conjugate add

Abstract
The ongoing interest in ethanolamide derivatives of antiβinflammatory drugs as potential synthetic cannabinoids and mechanistic tools for the study of cannabinoid and vanilloid receptors prompted us to develop a practical gram scale synthesis for the hitherto unknown ethanolamide of fenbufen. Dehydration of fenbufen leads to intramolecular ring closure yielding bright pink crystals of the intramolecular enol ester. Reaction of this activated but stable intermediate with ethanolamine leads to the title compound in good yield and purity without the necessity to remove coupling reagents or residual activating groups, such as N, Nβdialkyl ureas and fluorinated phenols.
