Abstract

See full text

3,17-(diethoxycarbonyl)normorphine, which may be prepared by reaction of morphine with ethyl chloroformate, is converted to 3,17-(diethoxycarbonyl)normorphinone, a novel compound, by oxidation. The novel normorphinone derivative is converted to 3,17-(diethoxycarbonyl)normorphinone enol acetate, a second novel compound, by esterification with acetic anhydride or acetyl halide. A 14-hydroxy group is introduced into the novel dienol ester by oxidation with peracid. The resultant 14-hydroxy-3,17-(diethoxycarbonyl)normorphinone, a third novel compound, may be catalytically hydrogenated to produce 3,17-(diethoxycarbonyl)noroxymorphone. The latter intermediate may be converted to noroxymorphone by hydrolysis.
