C. Simon et al., APPLICATION OF THE MITSUNOBU REACTION IN THE MORPHINE SERIES .121. THE REACTION OF 14-BETA-CHLORO AND 14-BETA-BROMOCODEINE WITH PHTHALIMIDEAND DIPHENYLPHOSPHORYL AZIDE, Tetrahedron letters, 34(40), 1993, pp. 6475-6478
14beta-Chlorocodeme 1 reacted with phthalimide under the conditions of
the Mitsunobu reaction (with TPP and DEAD or DIAD ) to give the expec
ted phthalimide derivative 3 together with 6beta,14beta-dichloro-6-deo
xycodeine 4 and the diene 6 or 7. 14beta-Bromocodeine 2 reacted simila
rly but did not give any phthalimido derivative. The mechanism of thes
e consecutive reactions has been investigated. With diphenylphosphoryl
azide 6beta-azido-14beta-chloro 15 and 6beta-azido-14beta-bromo 16 de
rivatives were obtained.
