Synthesis and pharmacology of 8-amino-3-(cyclopropylmethyl)-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydro-cis-6,11-dimethyl-2,6-methano-3-benzazocine and related compounds.

The little compound 1a has been prepared and was found to be a strong, orally active agonist with narcotic--antagonist properties. 1a was prepared by two independent routes: (1) nitration of volazocine and subsequent reduction and (b) a sequence involving dissolving metal reduction of cyclazocine methyl ether, followed by oximination and Semmler--Wolff rearrangement. Several analogues were prepared and tested.

Benzomorphans. Structure of a position isomer.

May's benzomorphan synthesis leads not only to the alpha or cis isomer and the beta or trans isomer but also to a position isomer hereinafter called the gamma isomer. The structure and synthesis of this isomer are described. Biological activities of the alpha and gamma isomers are compared.

Effect of 9-hydroxylation on benzomorphan antagonist activity.

In a benzomorphan bearing an antagonist side chain, introduction on the methano bridge of a hydroxyl oriented away from nitrogen has little effect on antagonist activity whereas a hydroxyl oriented toward nitrogen enhances this activity. Hydroxylation tends to decrease analgesic activity.
