The synthesis of racemic 2,3,4,5,6,6a-hexahydro-3-methyl-3-hydroxy-1H-4,11b-methanobenzofuro[3,2-d]azocine (2) is described. The route utilized a key photochemical conversion of the aryloxy enone to the hexahydrodibenzofuran, which established the relative stereochemistry of the oxide and methano bridges of 2. A 1,4-Michael-type addition of nitrogen to the .beta.-carbon of the .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated compound established the 4th and final ring. The title compound 2 represents an oxide-bridged derivative of the potent 5-(m-hydroxyphenyl)morphan class of opioid analgesics. Unlike the 5-(m-hydroxyphenyl)mophans, which have a freely rotating phenyl group, 2 has the phenyl ring conformationally restricted at an angle of 86.degree. relative to atoms 1, 2, 4 and 12 of the piperidine ring as determined by X-ray analysis. The lack of in vivo agonist or antagonist activity of 2 in mice in contrast to the parent 5-(m-hydroxyphenyl)morphan suggests that the phenyl ring torsion angle is unsuitable for binding to the opioid receptor system.
