Abstract: The oxazolidine derived from the reaction of oxymorphone with the Burgess reagent, temporarily protected at O-3 and C-6, reacts with Grignard or other suitable metallic or organometallic reagents to directly provide, for example, A/-allyl, A/-methylcyclopropyl and /V-methylcyclobutyl derivatives that are further converted into naltrexone, naloxone, nalbuphone and nalbuphine in excellent yields. These morphine analogs can be prepared from the oxazolidine in a one-pot synthesis.
