for 72 hours~ cooled and extracted with hexane. The aqueous phases are made alkaline with 10% (by weight) Na2C03 and extracted with CH2C12/C2H50H (8:2). The extracts are evapo-rated and chromatographed on silicagel -using as eluant CH2C12: CH30H: conc. NH40H (95:4.5:0.5). The title compound is obtained, M.pt. (HCl salt) 113-115 (from acetone/ether)~

The mixture is warmed to 0 over 2 hours,malntained at 0 for 16 hours and then worked up to give 2-benzoyl-octahydro-4a-(3-methoxyphenyl)-cis-6(2H)-isoqui-nolone. M.pt:. 78 (from methanol)0 b) 72.6 g of 2-benzoyl-octahydro-4a-(3-methoxyphenyl~ cis-6(2H)-iso~uinolone in 200 ml CH30H is reduced at 0 with 2,84 g NaBH~ over 2 hours. 20 ml acetone and 200 ml H20 are ' ~ ' :

~ 9 ~ 100-~997 added and the mixture continuou31y extracted with methylene chloride to give,after ~orking up, a mixture of the 6-hydroxy deri-vatives as an oil. These were acetylated by 19~ ml acetic anhydride in 100 ml pyridine. The mixture is carefully worked up to give an oil. The oil ~s treated with 80 ml acetone and 50 ml ether and (4aRS, 6SR, 8aRS) -6-acetoxy-2-benzoyl-decahydro-4a-(3-methoxyphenyl)-cis-isoquinoline (M.pt. 133-135) crystal7izes out.
Chromatography of the mother liquor on silicagel and elution with CH2C12 + 0.5 -1~ CH30H yields (4aRS, 6RS, 8aRS) -6-acetoxy-2-benzoyl-decahydro-4a-(3-methoxyphenyl)-cis-isoquinoline ~M.pt. 124-125~after crystallization from ethyl acetate/ether).

~9:1), washed with water, dried and evaporated to yield~
(4aRS, 6SR, 8aRS) -2-benzoyl-decahydro-6-hydroxy-4a-(3-me~
~hoxyphenyl)-cis-isoquinoline as a colourless fam.
d) 44.3 g of (4aRS, 6SR, 8aRS) -2-benzoyl-decahydro-6-hydroxy-4a-~3-methoxyphenyl)-cis-isoquinoline in 300 ml absolute tetrahydrofuran and 60 ml triethylamine are stirred and cooled and treated with 11.4 ml me~hanesulphonyl chloride in 100 ml absolute telrahydrofuran. After 1 hour the reaction mixture 7~

is poured onto ice and extracted with CH2C12.
Concentrat~on under a vacuum yields (4aRS, 6SR, 8a RS) 2-benzoyl-decahydro-6-mesyloxy-4a-(3-methoxyphenyl)-cis-isoquinoline. M.pt. 142-143 (from petroleum ether).
e) 3.8 g of sodIum azide, 12.8 g (4aRS, 6SR, 8aRS) 2-ben-zoyl-decahydro-6-mesyloxy-4a-(3-methoxyphenyl)-cis-isoqui-noline, and 60 ml DMS0 are stirred for 6 hours at 80 under nitrogen. The mixture is partitioned between toluene and water. The organic phase is evaporated to yield (4a RS, 6RS, 8aRS)-6-azido-2-~enzoyl-decahydro-4a-(3-methoxy-phenyl)-cis-isoquinoline.
EX~PLE 2: (4aRS, 6RS, 8aR~)-6-azi_o-decah~dro-2-methyl-4a-(3-meth_x~phenyl)-cis-iso~uinoline (process b) 28.6 g of 14aRS, 6RS, 8aRS)-6-a2ido-2-benzoyl-deca-hydro-4a-(3-methoxyphenyl)-cis-isoquinoline and 100 ml 35%
aqueous formaldehyde solution in 300 ml C2H50H are stirred with 19 g NaBH4. After 30 minutes ice-water is added and }he mixture is extracted with CH2C12. The extracts yield the tit~e-compo~tnd. M.pt. (hydrogen maleate) 155 from acetone/
ether; (HCl salt) from 190 (decomp).
11.88 g of the title compound and 15.96 g di-0,0?-p-toluoyl-L(~)-tartaric acid are dissolved in warm methanol, filtered an~ allowed to afford crystals at room temperature.
2S The cxystals are collected, washed with cold methanol and dried. The crystals are recrystallized four times from me-37~5 ~ 100-4997 thanol.

- 14 - lOo-4997 The compounds of formula I are eY~ibit analgesic activity ` as indicated in standard tests, e.g. ln the phenylbenzoquinone writhing test in mice on p.o. ac~ministration of from 0.5 to ~0 mg/kg of the co~-pounds, and in the tail flick test in mice on s.c. and p.o.administration from 0.5 to 100 mg/kg of the compc)unds.
The compounds of formula I~ exhibit nota~le analge-sic activity in the above tests as well as notable activity on oral administration in e.g. the arthritlc pain test - 10 in the rat over 1 to 5 hours on administratlon of fro~ 1 to 10 mg/kg p.o. These compounds also appear to be well tolera-ted in the mouse and rat at doses of from 50 to 100 mg/kg.
Furthermore thes~ compounds appear to be exhibit less mor-phine dependent efects ~han expected for such compounds as 15 indicated by the following properties:-i) These compounds do not appear to bind selectively to rat brain opiate receptors. In standard tests for indicating the inhibition of specific 3H-naloxone binding to rat brain membrane~, e.g. according to the princlples of PertC.~,and 20 Synder S.H.~Science 1~79, 1011-1014 (1973) and Molec~Pharmac.
10, 868-869 (1971)~a high concentration of compound, e.g.
1000 to 100,000 nM, was required to lnhiblt the specific binding of 3H naloxone (1 nM) both in the presence of 100 nM
sodium chlorlde and in the absence of sodium chloride.
25 ii) These compounds do not appear to be lnduce si~nificant dose-dependent jumping hehavour in morphine-c'ependent mice on . ^ ~

7~
_15 _ 100-4997 administration of from 30 to 100 mg/kg i.p. In one standard test male mice ~OFI) strain weighing about 25 a were implanted under llght ether anaesthesiawith a pellet containing 75 mg morphine base. After recovering, the ani~als were maintained in groups of 10 with free access to ~ood and water. 6 days after the implantation the mice were judged to be morphine dependent. The compound was then administered and the number of jumps recorded in a 5~ ~inute period thereafter recorded.
10 (iii) These compounds do not appear to markedly inhibit the withdr~al syndrome in morphine dependent monkeys at a dose of from 1 to 10 mg/kg i.v. One standard test is car~ed out as follows:-Male rhesus monkéys (2.5 - 3.4 kg) were kept, each in a metal harness (weight 600 g), ln separate, open-fronted 15 cubicles (70 x 70 x 90 cm) with free access to food and water, and a 12 hour light-dark cycle (6 a.m. - 6 p.m. light) main-tained. After 7 days acclimatisation to their harnesses and to the cages, the monkeys were anaPsthetized w1th pentothal i.v. and halothane and implanted with a single-lumen silastic 20 catheter into the left jugular vein. l`he free end of the ca'heter was then led subcutaneously over the shoulder of each animal cmd out through a small stab wound made in the skin between the shoulder blades. The monkeys were refltted lnto their harnesses and connected to a saline-filled cannula 25 coming from the injecticn pumps. During the 7 day recovery period, all anlmals received 0.8 ml physiological saline 7~

every 30 minutes in order to keept the tip o thè cannula free of clots.
Each monkey received programmed injeclions of mor-phine (5.6 mg/kg i.v.) at intervals of 4 hours. After several days the morphine injections are stopped and two hours after the last morphine injection the compound is admini-stered to the animal. The nature and intensity of the withdrawal syndrome is then recorded.
In the above tests the Example 2 title compound showed especially interesting activity. The (-) form of the Example 2 compound exhibits more interesting activity than the (+) form. This indicates that all optical isomers having the same absolute configuration as the (-) form of the Example 2 compound are the preferred optical isomers.
The compounds are therefore indicated for use as analgesic agents. For this use an indicated daily dose is from about 10 to about 300 mg, conveniently administered in divided doses 2 to 4 times a day in unit dosage form containing from about 5 to about 150 mg, or in sustained release form.

s ~ 17 - 100-4997 The compounds of formula I may be ad~lnistered in pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt for~.
Such acid addition salt fo~ms exhbit the same order of activity as the free base forms and are readily prepared in conventional manner. The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of formula I, in free base form or in pharmaceutlcally acceptable acid addition salt form, ~n association with a pharmaceutical carrier or diluent.
Such compositions may be in the form of, for example, a solution or a tablet.
Example 2 is the preferred compound.
