Reaction Steps

17-cyclopropylmethyl-3,14β-dihydroxy-4,5α-epoxy-6β-(N-methyl-trans-3-(3-furyl)acrylamido)morphinan 2.0699 g (4.3 mmol), ethyl acetate 60 ml, methanol 6 ml, and methyl iodide 1.3 ml were placed together in a container to be sealed, and, while being sealed, was stirred at 100° C. for four days. To the reaction solution was added methanol 60 ml; the precipitated solid was dissolved and concentrated; and to the resulting residue was added distilled water 400 ml. This aqueous solution was washed with chloroform (100 ml×7); the water phase was concentrated; the resulting residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate-methanol; and the resulting crystal was dissolved in distilled water 500 ml. This aqueous solution was washed with chloroform (100 ml×3); the water phase was concentrated; the resulting residue was recrystallized three times from methanol; and the compound in the title 102 mg was obtained.
