Abstract

1 2 we wished to explore the pharmacological effects of homologation of this system to l-aryl- 3-azabicyclo [3.2. 0]-heptanes, 2. The route that was employed gave 5-aryl-3-azabicyclo [3.2. 0] heptan-6-one dimethyl ketals 62 as intermediates. These, and most notably phenol 7, showed unexpected morphine-like activity. Thus, the present study is concerned with the chemical synthesis and pharmacology of the ketals 6a-d and 7. Elaboration of these ...
