Direct Synthesis of Naltrexone by Palladium-Catalyzed N-Demethylation/Acylation of Oxymorphone: The Benefit of CH Activation and the Intramolecular Acyl Transfer from C-14 Hydroxy

Oxymorphone was converted to naltrexone in three steps by palladium‐catalyzed oxidative N‐demethylation and intramolecular acyl transfer from C‐14 hydroxy to N‐17. Vitride™ reduction of N‐acylamide to N‐alkylamine proceeded with concomitant reductive deprotection of C‐6 and O‐3 functionalities....
