B. Kratochvil et al., THE MOLECULAR AND CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF BUPRENORPHINE HYDROCHLORIDE, AMORPHINE ANALOG, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 59(11), 1994, pp. 2472-2480
The structure of buprenorphine hydrochloride ethylpropyl]-6-O-methyl-6
,14-ethano-17-normorphine hydrochloride) was solved by direct methods
and refined anisotropically to the R value of 0.062 for 3 049 observed
reflections. The substance crystallizes in the tetragonal space group
P4(3)2(1)2, a = b = 11.513(2) Angstrom, c = 42.054(8) Angstrom, V = 5
574(2) Angstrom(3), Z = 8, D-calc = 1.201 g cm(-3), mu(MoK alpha) = 0
.17 mm(-1). The compound is the first morphine derivative with a 6,14-
ethano bridge whose molecular structure has been solved.
