Abstract

The reaction of 14-aminonaltrexone with acetic anhydride was found to produce a range of different novel compounds between the free compound and its hydrochloride. The hydrochloride produced a compound with an acetylacetone moiety, whereas the free form produced a compound with a pyranopyridine moiety. Efforts to isolate reaction intermediates and density functional theory calculations have elucidated those formation mechanisms with both bearing the novel morphinan-type skeleton. Furthermore, a derivative with the acetylacetone moiety showed binding to opioid receptors.
