title: Synthesis and pharmacology of 8-amino-3-(cyclopropylmethyl)-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydro-cis-6,11-dimethyl-2,6-methano-3-benzazocine and related compounds.
abstract: The little compound 1a has been prepared and was found to be a strong, orally active agonist with narcotic--antagonist properties. 1a was prepared by two independent routes: (1) nitration of volazocine and subsequent reduction and (b) a sequence involving dissolving metal reduction of cyclazocine methyl ether, followed by oximination and Semmler--Wolff rearrangement. Several analogues were prepared and tested.
