2 det forekommer derfor, at demethylering af thebains tertiære amin udgør et obligatorisk trin i alle disse synteser.2 Therefore, it appears that demethylation of thebain's tertiary amine constitutes a mandatory step in all these syntheses.

Demethyleringen af thebain, før nogen anden omdannelse, kan kun udføres med lave udbytter som følge af udgangsforbindelsens 5 ustabilitet, og især som følge af det opnåede demethylerede produkts ustabilitet. Desuden er denne fremgangsmåde uanvendelig industrielt.The demethylation of thebain, before any other conversion, can only be carried out with low yields due to the instability of the starting compound 5, and in particular due to the instability of the obtained demethylated product. In addition, this approach is unusually industrial.

Ved at gå ud fra disse molekyler foretages demethylering af nitrogenatomet. For at undgå uønskede reaktioner er det imid-15 lertid nødvendigt, at den eller de hydroxylgrupper, der er til stede i molekylet, er beskyttet. Som oftest danner man den tilsvarende ester ved omsætning med eddikesyreanhydrid.Starting from these molecules, demethylation of the nitrogen atom is done. However, to avoid undesired reactions, it is necessary that the hydroxyl group (s) present in the molecule is protected. Most often, the corresponding ester is formed by reaction with acetic anhydride.

14-acetoxygruppen fremkalder således en vigtig sterisk hindring, der i betydelig grad begrænser mulighederne for demethylering.Thus, the 14-acetoxy group produces an important steric barrier that significantly limits the possibilities of demethylation.

Dette er årsagen til, at forskellige reagenser, der er foreslået til demethylering af alkaloider, især inden for morphin-rækken, kun frembringer ringe udbytter med 14-hydroxymorphinaner, hvilket nødvendiggør vanskelige separationer til isolation 5 af den demethylerede forbindelse.This is why various reagents proposed for demethylation of alkaloids, especially within the morphine range, produce only poor yields of 14-hydroxymorphinans, necessitating difficult separations for isolation 5 of the demethylated compound.

Dette er især tilfældet for phenylchlorformiat, trichlorethyl-chlorformiat og α-chlorethylchlorformiat.This is particularly the case for phenyl chloroformate, trichloroethyl chloroformate and α-chloroethyl chloroformate.

I tilfælde af 14-hydroxymorphinaner er der hidtil kun blevet benyttet to reagenser. Der er for det første tale om cyanogen-10 bromid, omtalt af J.von Braun i Berichte 47, 2312 (1914), til morphinrækken, og det blev af M.Lewenstein, USA-patentskrift nr. 3.254.088, benyttet til 14-hydroxymorphinrækken.In the case of 14-hydroxymorphinans, only two reagents have so far been used. First, there is cyanogen-10 bromide, referred to by J.von Braun in Berichte 47, 2312 (1914), for the morphine series, and it was used by M.Lewenstein, U.S. Patent No. 3,254,088 to 14 -hydroxymorphinrækken.

Dette reagens fører til udbytter af størrelsesordenen 70% af demethyleret produkt. Det er ekstremt toksisk, og dets in-15 dustrielle anvendelse kræver meget betydelige forsigtighedsregler ved anvendelse.This reagent leads to yields on the order of 70% of demethylated product. It is extremely toxic and its industrial use requires very considerable precautions when used.

Der er desuden tale om vinylchlorformiat foreslået af R.Olof-son (USA-patentskrift nr. 3.905.981 og nr. 4.141.897). Med dette reagens varierer udbyttet af demethyleret produkt fra 20 70 til 85%. Dette reagens frembyder i industriel henseende to vigtige ulemper. For det første fører dets ustabilitet til varierende udbytter, og dets vanskelige fremstilling medfører for det andet en høj pris.In addition, it is vinyl chloroformate proposed by R. Olof-son (U.S. Patent Nos. 3,905,981 and 4,141,897). With this reagent, the yield of demethylated product ranges from 70 to 85%. This reagent presents, in industrial terms, two major disadvantages. Firstly, its instability leads to varying yields and, secondly, its difficult production entails a high price.

Ifølge den foreliggende opfindelse har det overraskende vist 25 sig, at man kan foretage demethyleringen af 14-hydroxymorphi- naners nitrogenatom ved som reagens at anvende ethylchlor-« formiat.Surprisingly, according to the present invention, it has been found that demethylation of the nitrogen atom of 14-hydroxymorphins can be carried out by using ethyl chloroformate as a reagent.

Dette reagens har allerede været benyttet som N-demethyleringsmiddel for alkaloider. Siden 1921 har J.Gadamer & F.Knoch,This reagent has already been used as an N-demethylating agent for alkaloids. Since 1921, J.Gadamer & F.Knoch,

Senere har E.Jucker & A.Lindenmann (svejtsisk patentskrift 5 nr. 442.318) og G.Kraiss & K.Nador (Tetrahedron Letters 1, 57-58, 1971) omtalt anvendelsen af ethylchorformiat som deme-thyleringsmiddel for nitrogenatomet i derivater tilhørende tropanfamilien. De opnåede udbytter er temmelig lave.More recently, E. Jucker & A. Lindenmann (Swiss Patent 5,442,318) and G.Kraiss & K.Nador (Tetrahedron Letters 1, 57-58, 1971) have discussed the use of ethyl chevre formate as the demethylation agent for the nitrogen atom in derivatives belonging to the tropane family. . The yields obtained are rather low.

M.Abdel-Monen & P.Portoghese, J.Med.Chem. 15 (2), 208-210 (1972), 10 har demethyleret morphin og codein ved omsætning med ethylchlor-formiat med udbytter af størrelsesordenen 40%.M.Abdel-Monen & P. Portoghese, J.Med.Chem. 15 (2), 208-210 (1972), 10 have demethylated morphine and codeine by reaction with ethyl chloroformate with yields of the order of 40%.

På lignende måde kommer K.Rice & E.May, J.Heterocyclic Chem. 14, 665 (1977) til samme konklusion.Similarly, K.Rice & E.May, J.Heterocyclic Chem. 14, 665 (1977) to the same conclusion.

Endelig har M.Schwartz & R.Wallace, J.Med.Chem. 24, 1525-1528 15 (1981) bragt ethylchlorformiat til omsætning med codein til dannelse af N-ethoxycarbonylcodein, som blev underkastet en hel række reaktioner med henblik på omdannelse deraf til 14-hydroxymorphinanderivatet, som derefter blev hydrolyseret til det tilsvarende N-nor-derivat.Finally, M.Schwartz & R.Wallace, J.Med.Chem. 24, 1525-1528 (1981) introduced ethyl chloroformate into codeine to form N-ethoxycarbonylcodeine, which was subjected to a variety of reactions to convert it to the 14-hydroxymorphinane derivative, which was then hydrolyzed to the corresponding N-nor. derivative.

20 I betragtning af de kendte vanskeligheder ved demethylering af 14-hydroxymorphinaner, som er omtalt ovenfor, kunne intet af disse trykskrifter efterlade håb om gunstige resultater ved anvendelse af ethylchlorformiat til demethylering af oxycodon eller oxymorphon.20 Given the known difficulties in demethylation of 14-hydroxymorphinans discussed above, none of these prints could leave hope for favorable results using ethyl chloroformate for demethylation of oxycodone or oxymorphone.

25 Ikke desto mindre viser de med ethylchlorformiat opnåede resultater på helt uventet måde dette reagens* overlegenhed i forhold til de hidtil benyttede.Nonetheless, the results obtained with ethyl chloroformate show, in an unexpected way, this reagent * superior to that previously used.

Hydrolysen af carbamatet gennemføres i stærkt surt miljø, især ved hjælp af svovlsyre med en koncentration mellem 5 og 10 N. Fortrinsvis anvendes en blanding af eddikesyre og svovlsyre under tilbagesvaling, hvilken blanding fører til 5 mindre nedbrydning end svovlsyren alene. Hydrolysen af carbamatet ledsages af forsæbning af den eller de tilstedeværende acetatestere i molekylet.The hydrolysis of the carbamate is carried out in a highly acidic environment, in particular by means of sulfuric acid having a concentration between 5 and 10 N.
