A Facile Synthesis and Structural Verification of Etorphine and Dihydroetorphine from Codeine

Abstract: 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.

“…[25] Deuterium-labelled versions (6-OCD 3 -20-CD 3À ) of the 20S-and 20R-stereoisomers of etorphine ([ 2 H 6 ]etorphine) and dihydroetorphine ([ 2 H 6 ]dihydroetorphine) were synthesized starting from codeine for the application as internal standard for HPLC and/or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) investigations applied in blood analyses. [26,27] Dihydroetorphine (DHE), the 18,19-dihydro analogue of etorphine, has no less than seven asymmetric carbon centres (5R,6R,7R,9R,13S,14S,20R) and was first synthesized by Bentley et al in the 1960s. [25] The biologically more active isomer 20Rdihydroetorphine is among the most potent known semisynthetic opiates with up to 12,000-fold higher potency than morphine.…”
