Synthesis of Naltrexone and (R)-Methylnaltrexone from Oripavine via Direct Oxidation of Its Quaternary Salts
摘要:
(R)-Methylnaltrexone and naltrexone were each prepared in four steps from oripavine in practical yields. The procedure involved quaternization of oripavine with cyclopropylmethyl halides, singlet oxygen oxidation of the quaternary salts, and the reduction of endo peroxides to 14-hydroxyketone functionalities. (R)-Methylnaltrexone was prepared from the corresponding R-diastereomer of the oripavine salt. All diastereomeric mixtures of the quaternary salts were subjected to N-demethylation with sodium thiolate to yield cyclopropyl methylnororipavine, which was converted into naltrexone by peracid oxidation and hydrogenation according to established procedures.

synthesized from oripavine by a sequence involving the conversion of oripavine into its cyclopropylmethyl quaternary salt, N-demethylation with thiolate to N-cyclopropylmethyl nororipavine, and conversion of this material to the title compound by previously available methods. The new synthesis avoids toxic reagents used previously, is shorter, and proceeds in comparable yields. Experimental and spectral data

The present application describes processes for the synthesis of morphinane and morphinone compounds, useful as pharmaceutical agents. Also included are novel intermediates useful in the preparation of these compounds. The process comprises quaternization of oripavine to provide a mixture of the R- and S-isomeric (at the nitrogen) quaternary salts. The R-isomer is readily isolated and converted to various N-(R)-morphinane and N-(S)-morphinone compounds. The R-isomer, S-isomer or a mixture of R- and S-isomers may be demethylated and converted to various morphinane and morphinone compounds.
