In this study, an improved process for the synthesis of etorphine and dihydroetorphine from codeine with an overall yield of 2.7% and 1.5% respectively is described. The structure of 19-propylthevinol 7 was verfied by X-ray structure analysis. This result is promising for synthesizing various morphine-based drugs.
