Abstract

We have developed an asymmetric route to (-)-aphanorphine from O-Me-d-tyrosine methyl ester hydrochloride salt, available from d-tyrosine in four steps. The tricyclic framework of (-)-aphanorphine was assembled stereoselectively by intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction of the corresponding bicyclic precursor, which was in turn generated via ring-closing metathesis reaction.

Key words

aphanorphine - asymmetric synthesis - ring-closing metathesis reaction - tyrosine
