A solution of 1-benzyl-4-phenyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine in tetrahydrofuran containing n-butyl lithium is added to a solution of 3-chloro-2-ethylpropene in tetrahydrofuran. The reaction is carried out according to the procedure of Example 1 to give 1-benzyl-4-phenyl-4-(2-ethylallyl)-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine. The later compound is reacted with phosphoric acid and formic acid to give, after treatment with sodium hydroxide, 2-benzyl-3,4-dehydro-5-phenyl-7-ethylmorphan. Catalytic hydrogenation of the latter compound provides 2-benzyl-5-phenyl-7-ethylmorphan.
