Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2 g (4.8 mmol) of 4,5-epoxy-17-methyl-3-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxymorphinan-6-one were dissolved, under a nitrogen atmosphere, in 25 ml of dimethylformamide, then 1.46 ml (5 mmol) of vinyltributyltin, 1.6 g (38.4 mmol) of LiCl, 0.337 g (0.48 mmol) of bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride and 0.5 g (1.9 mmol) of triphenylphosphine were added. The reaction mixture was heated to 100° C. for 3 h, then it was poured onto water and the aqueous phase was extracted with AcOEt. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4 and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The crude reaction mixture was purified by flash chromatography, eluting with a mixture CH2Cl2/MeOH/conc. NH4OH 90:7:0.7 respectively, yielding 1.1 g of the title product.
