Facile synthesis of 8-benzoylthio-2,6-methano-3-benzazocines and 3-benzoylthiomorphinans having small-ring substituents

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 1989 Aug;37(8):2222-4. doi: 10.1248/cpb.37.2222.

Abstract

Synthesis of 3-cyclopropylmethyl-, 3-cyclobutylmethyl-, and 3-methyl-8-benzoylthio-2,6-methano-3-benzazocines (1j-l) was performed by regio-selective chlorosulfonation of non-narcotic 8-deoxy derivatives (1a-c) followed by reduction and benzoylation. 3-Benzoylthiomorphinans (2h-j) were also obtained by the same method. Compounds having small-ring substituents (1k, 1l, 2i, 2j) were found to be weak but pure mu- and delta-opioid antagonists. The analgetic activity of 1k was almost equal to that of pentazocine.
