Abstract: The invention involves a method of making key intermediates useful in the synthesis of many opiate narcotics and antagonists and agonists; and the non-opiate enantiomers thereof which have potent antitussive properties. The synthesis starts from either the natural or unnatural enantiomer of nordihydrocodeinone and produces 8, 14-dihydronorthebaine, the diketal of 7-bromonordihydrocodeinone, northebaine, norcodeinone diketal and 14-hydroxynorcodeinone intermediates without the necessity of leaving the N-nor structure. The syntheses have fewer steps than previous methods, and also have high yields.
