Abstract

The aldol condensation of naltrexone with various aryl aldehydes gives the corresponding 7-benzylidenenaltrexone derivatives in high yields. However, novel C-ring-contracted morphinan compounds were produced when 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde or its related analogues were used as a coupling partner. The key structural feature was the existence of the tetrahydrofuran ring (4,5-epoxy ring, E-ring) of the morphinan skeleton. The time-resolved in situ IR spectroscopy of the reaction system indicated the short-lived absorption of the distorted cyclopropanone intermediate.
