Popis: The Diels – Alder reaction was applied to 4,5-epoxymorphinan opioids to generate a novel aromatic cycloadduct at C(7) – C(8): Thermolytic cleavage of sultine 8 produced the reactive diene o-quinodimethane 7 which condensed favorably with codeine (11), but not with codeinone (9) or 14- hydroxycodeinone (10), producing the desired tetrahydronaphtho adduct 12 with (7R,8R) geometry (Scheme). The configuration of the cycloadduct was determined by 1D- and 2D-NMR experiments. The unanticipated reactivity of these codeine derivatives was investigated by quantum-mechanical calculations, and it was determined that steric effects of the 6-keto and 14-hydroxy group likely precluded condensation by raising the molecular energy of their respective transition states.
