Deconstructive Asymmetric Total Synthesis of Morphine-Family Alkaloid (?)-Thebainone A

Herein, we describe the development of a deconstructive strategy for the first asymmetric synthesis of (?)-thebainone A, capitalizing on an enantioselective C?C bond activation and a C?O bond cleavage reaction. The rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric “cut-and-sew” transformation between sterically hindered trisubstituted alkenes and benzocyclobutenones allowed efficient construction of the fused A/B/C rings and the quaternary center of the natural product. The newly optimized conditions show broad substrate scope and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99.5:0.5 er). Taking advantage of boron-mediated ether bond cleavage, we completed the synthesis of the morphine alkaloid (?)-thebainone A by two complementary routes.

Previous studies with aminothiazolomorphinans suggested that this class of opioid ligands may be useful as a potential pharmacotherapeutic to decrease drug abuse. Novel aminothiazole derivatives of cyclorphan were prepared to evaluate a series of aminothiazolomorphinans with varying pharmacological properties at the κ opioid receptor (KOR) and μ opioid receptor (MOR). This study was focused on exploring the regioisomeric analogs with the aminothiazole on the C-ring of the morphinan skeleton. Receptor binding and [35S] GTPγS binding assays were used to characterize the affinity and pharmacological properties of the aminothiazolomorphinans. Intracranial self-stimulation (ICSS) was used to compare the effects of a representative aminothiazolomorphinan with the morphinan mixed-KOR/MOR agonist butorphan (MCL-101) on brain-stimulation reward.
CONVERSION OF THEBAINE TO MORPHINE DERIVATIVES

Page/Page column 4; 6, (2009/01/24)
The present invention provides methods for the conversion of thebaine to a morphine derivative, such as hydrocodone. Novel ketal intermediates of the conversion are provided. A one-pot procedure for the conversion comprises treating thebaine with an acid in the presence of a metal catalyst.
