Michael Reactions of Benzylimines Derived from Morphinan-6-ones: Synthesis of Pyrrolo- and Pyridinomorphinans
摘要:
The benzylimines 15 derived from oxymorphones 14 and generated in situ reacted with Michael acceptors (methyl methacrylate, maleic anhydride, and alpha-metlivlene-gamma-butyrolactone) to give opioid ligands 16, 17, and 19-21 having pyrrole- or pyridine-derived ring systems (see Scheme 3). The product of the reaction with maleic anhydride displayed a surprising preference for the 2-hydroxypyrrole form 19 rather than for the tautomeric 1.6-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-one form 24, resulting from the stability of the C(6)=C(7) bond in oxymorphone and related structures.
