Codeine biomimetic synthesis

A commercially profitable biomimetic synthesis of morphinane alkaloids will require the conversion of reticuline into salutaridine in sufficient yield (Scheme 14) (see Section III,D) and the conversion of salutaridine into thebaine, codeine, and morphine. [Pg.427]

Initial investigations in opiate total synthesis at NIH focused on the biomimetic route, shown above and recently studied extensively by Szantay et al. (1983) and Schwartz and Zoda (1981) in which a reticuline derivative (11) is oxidatively cyclized to a salutaridine derivative (12) which would be convertible to thebaine and hence to codeine and morphine. Traditionally, this approach has been complicated by control of the product distribution ratio and the tendency of the desired morphinandienones to undergo secondary transformations. An effective synthesis of reticuline derivatives (Rice and Brossi 1980) was developed as a prerequisite to this approach at NIH, and a simple synthesis of racemic and chiral pavinans and isopavinans (Rice et al. 1980) resulted from these studies, but attempts at development of an oxidative cyclization which would be useful for large scale synthesis were unsuccessful. [Pg.196]
