The inhibition of radioligand binding and [35S]GTPgammaS functional assay data for N-methyl- and N-phenethyl-9beta-methyl-5-(3-hydroxyphenyl)morphans (5b and 5c) show that these compounds are pure antagonists at the micro, delta, and kappa opioid receptors. Since 5b and 5c have the 5-(3-hydroxyphenyl) group locked in a conformation comparable to an equatorial group of a piperidine chair conformation, this information provides very strong evidence that opioid antagonists can interact with opioid receptors in this conformation. In addition, it suggests that the trans-3, 4-dimethyl-4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)piperidine class of antagonist operates via a phenyl equatorial piperidine chair conformation. Importantly, the close relationship between the 4-(3-hydroxyphenyl)piperidines and 5-(3-hydroxyphenyl)morphan antagonists shows that the latter class of compound provides a rigid platform on which to build a novel series of opioid antagonists.

A convergent, highly stereoselective synthetic approach to N-alkyl-4β- methyl-5-phenylmorphans has been developed utilizing alkylation of the metalloenamine of N-alkyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-phenylpyridines with 2- (chloromethyl)-3,5-dioxahex-1-ene (Okahara's reagent) followed by Clemmensen reduction.
