Abstract

The bridged-ethers,(±) -2-methoxy-9a-carbamorphinan (lb) and (±)-2-methoxy-9a-carba-14α-morphinan(2b) have been synthesized. The acid-catalyzed cyclizations of 1-m-methoxy-benzyloctalone 3b and 1-m-methoxybenzyloctalins 4b proceed with high regio-and stereoselectivities leading mostly to the bridged-ketone 14 and ether lb respectively, along with o-methoxy-tetracyclic ketone 15 and the ether 17, in addition to other minor products.
