The synthesis of the ortho- and para-e isomers in the oxide-bridged 5-phenylmorphan series of rigid tetracyclic compounds was accomplished via rac-5-(2-fluoro-5-nitrophenyl)-2-methyl-2azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-9beta-ol ((+/-)-10), an intermediate containing an aromatic nitro-activated fluorine atom. The fluorine atom was used as the leaving group for the formation of the strained tetracyclic trans-fused 5,6-ring system in rac-(1alpha,4aalpha,9aalpha)-1,3,4,9a-tetrahydro-2-methyl-6-nitro-2H-1,4a-propanobenzofuro[2,3-c]pyridine ((+/-)-11), although preference for cis ring fusion during the formation of tricyclic tetra- and hexahydrodibenzofurans has been well-documented. Single-crystal X-ray crystallographic study of the desired para-e isomer ((+/-)-2), as well as of two intermediates in its synthesis, provided assurance of the correct structures. The e-isomers are among the last of the 12 oxide-bridged 5-phenylmorphans to be synthesized. We envisioned the syntheses of these rigid, tetracyclic compounds in order to determine the three-dimensional pattern of a ligand that would enable interaction with opioid receptors as agonists or antagonists.
