Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

A process for the preparation of the compound N-cyclopropylmethyl-6,14-endoethano-7-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-ter-butyl)-tetrahydronororipavine which comprises reacting thebaine with acrolein to undergo Diels-Alder reaction to give 6,14-endoethano-7-formyl-tetrahydrothe-baine. This is reacted with methyl magnesium iodide to give 6,14-endoethano-7-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl)-tetrahydrothebaine which is oxidized by reaction with potassium permanganate to give 6,14-endoethano-7-acetyl-tetrahydrothebaine which is hydrogenated using palladium catalyst to give 6,14-endoethano-7-acetyltetrahydrothebaine. Reaction with ter-butyl magnesium chloride gives 6,14-endoethano-7-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-ter-butyl)-tetxahydrothebaine which is reacted with cyanogen bromide to give N-cyano-6,14-endoethano-7-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-ter-butyl) tetrahydro-thebaine which is reacted with cyanoyen bromide to give N-cyano-6,14-endoethano-7-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-terbutyl)-tetrahydrothebaine which is demethylated by treatment with potassium hydroxide in one pot at 210°C to give 6,14-endoethano-7-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-ter-butyl)-tetra-hydronororipavine which on treatment with cyclo-propyl methyl bromide gives the compound N-cyclo-propylmethyl-6,14-endoethano-7-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-ter-butyl)-tetra-hydronororipavine. The process proceeds smoothly with readily available reactants, and yields a pure product, advantages over the prior art.

Description

This invention relates to a novel process for the synthesis of the compound N~cyclopropylmethyl-6,14-endoethano-7-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-terbutyl)-tetraAudrey-nororipavine from theba.ine.
It it known to synthesize the compound N-cyclo-propyl-methyl-6,14-endoethano-7-(2-hydroxy-2-methyyl-2-ter-butyl)-tetrahydronororipavine from thebaine. The conventional scheme, as shown below, consists in the following steps: treating thebaine formula I with methylvinylketone to give 6,14-endoethano-7-acetyltetra-hydrothebaine (formula I hydrogenation using palladium catalyst to give 6,14-endoethano-7-acetyltetrahydro-thebaine (formula 3); reaction with ter-butyl magnesium chloride to give 6,14-endoethano-7-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-ter-butyl)-tetrahydrothebaine Formula I reaction with cyanogen bromide to give N-cyano-6,14-endoethano-7-(2-hydroxy-20methyl-2-ter-butyl)-tetrahydrothebaine (formula 5) ; reaction with potassium hydroxide at 170C to give 6,14endoethano-7-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-terbutyl)-tetraa-TV hydronorthebaine formula 6); reaction with cyclopropyl carbonyl chloride followed by reduction with lithium alum-Nemo hydrides to give N-cyclopropylmethyl-6,14 endoethano-7-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-ter-butyl)-tetrahydronorthebbrine (formula 7); reaction with potassium hydroxide at 210C to give N-cyclopropylmethyl-6,14-endoethano-7 (2-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-ter-butyl)-tetrahydronororipavine (formula 8).

~2~Z~ 0~3 The drawbacks of the conventional process are first the methyl vinyl kitten required for preparing the-brine adduce it not always easily available. Secondly the thebaine adduce obtained through acrolein gives a purer product as compared to methyl vinyl kitten. Further the reduction of Pd/C proceeds quite smoothly for the thebaine adduce synthesized from acrolein.
This invention provides a novel simplified pro-cuss for the preparation of the compound N-cyclopropyl-methyl-6,14-endoethano-7-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-terr-butyl)-tetrahydronororipavine, which overcomes the drawbacks ox the conventional process.
Accordingly the present invention is a process for the preparation of the compound N-cyclopropylmethyl-6, 14-endothano-7-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-ter-butyl)-teetrahydro-nororipavine that comprises reacting thebaine with acrolein to undergo Diels-Alder reaction to give 6,14-endoethano-7-formyl-tetrahydrothebaine which is reacted with methyl magnesium iodide to give 6,14-endoethano-7-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl)-tetrahydrothebaine which is oxidized by reaction with potassium permanganate to give 6,14-endoethano-7-acetyl-tetrahydrothebaine which is hydrogenated using palladium catalyst to give 6,14-endoethano-7-acetyletra-hydrothebaine which is reacted with ter-butyl magnesium chloride to give 6,14-endoethano-7-(2-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-ter-butyl-tetrahydrothebaine which is reacted with cyanogen -"` lo Ox bromide to give N-cyano-6,14-endoethano-7-t2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-2-ter-butyl)-tetrahydrothebaine which is dime thy-fated by treatment with potassium hydroxide in one pot 210C to give 6,14-endoethano-7-(2-hydroxy-2 methyl-2-terbutyl)-te~rahydronororipavine which on treatment with cyclopropyl methyl bromide gives the compound N-cyclopro-pylmethyl-6,14-endoethano-7-(2-hydroxy-2--methyl-2Tory-butyl)-tetrahydronororipavine.
