Analgesics alkaloids

The analgesic alkaloid epibatidine (57) continues to receive much synthetic interest <96JOC4600, 96T11053, 96TL7845> and Tmdell has devised a novel approach to the synthesis of this alkaloid, the key step of which utilizes a [4 + 2] cycloaddition of methyl 3-bromopropiolate with A -Boc-pyrrole (55) to afford the 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane skeleton 56 characteristic of this alkaloid <96JOC7189>.

The opium poppy Papaver somniferum contains two useful analgesic alkaloids, morphine and codeine, as well as thebaine, which not only may be... 

Pyroglutamic acid was used as the starting material in a synthesis of (+)-ipalbidine, an analgesic alkaloid obtained from the seeds of the white moonflower, Ipomoea alba. No bonds are made or broken to the chirality center of (5)-pyroglutamic acid in this synthesis. Which of the following is the structure of (+)-ipalbidine ... 

Asymmetric total synthesis of (—)-octahydro-l f-benzofuro[3,2- ]isoquinoline 149, a partial structure of morphine, a potent analgesic alkaloid, was accomplished using the ATH protocol (Scheme 30.28). The ketone 147...
