Abstract

An improved synthesis for the preparation of diastereomerically pure dihydrothebainone (1) from thebaine (3) is reported. A 41% overall yield was realized over three steps via direct transformation of dihydrothebaine-Ø (4) to thebainone-A (6) with 6N HCl.

Notes

Also referred to as phenolic dihydrothebaine.
