The invention provides processes for the preparation of morphinans having a tertiary amine. In particular, the present invention provides processes for the formation of tertiary amine alkaloids by direct N-alkylation of secondary amine alkaloids, the processes co-mediated by an alkylating agent and a protic solvent or a mixture of a protic solvent and an aprotic solvent.

The present invention provides (+)-morphinans comprising Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) antagonist activity, as well as a method for identifying (+)-morphinans that may be therapeutically effective by determining whether the (+)-morphinan inhibits the activation of TLR9. Also provided are methods of using the (+)-morphinans comprising TLR9 antagonist activity to treat conditions such as traumatic pain, neuropathic pain, inflammatory disorders, acetaminophen toxicity, autoimmune disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer.
