Abstract

The synthesis of narcotic antagonists from the 4-methoxymorphinan-6-one series is described. The synthesis started from optically active 4-hydroxy-6-keto-N-formylmorphinan prepared from morphine, by employing conventional procedures. The compounds have pentazocine-like agonist activity and N-cyclopropylmethyl-4-methoxymorphinan-6-one is somewhat more potent than nalorphine as a narcotic antagonist.
