A stereoselective synthesis of both isomers of the pharmaceutically important morphine 6-β-D-glucuronide (M6G) and its analogs was developed. The method is based on the use of ZnBr2 for the key coupling reaction. It was shown that the α/β stere

A novel approach was developed for the synthesis of the pharmaceutically important morphine and dihydromorphine 6-β-D-glucuronides. The key step involves a selective 6-O-glycosylation of 3-O-protected morphines and dihydromorphines with thioglycosides that serve as glycosyl donors in the presence of thiophilic promoters. This novel approach may be useful for the O-glycosylation of other alkoloid derivatives.
