Abstract
In efforts aimed at further exploration of our finding that functional ization of the two-carbon bridge of cocaine can lead to a weak antagon ist of cocaine, we report a route to the 6- and 7-hydroxylated analogu es by use of the Willstatter synthesis. The hydroxylated derivatives c an in principle be used to gain access to a diverse library of 6- and 7-functionalized cocaine analogues. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Scienc e Ltd
