Novel N-allyl and N-propargyl benzmorphan derivatives

Abstract

N-Allyl-benzmorphan compounds having structures distinguished by having either a 4,5 or 6 carbon containing allyl group at the 2- or N-position or various ether derivatives of the 2'-hydroxy group. The compounds are prepared by alkylation of appropriate N-nor bases and have analgetic antagonist activity particularly pronounced in countering the effects of overdosing. Certain N-acyl-2'-hydroxy-5,9-dimethyl-6,7-benzmorphan intermediates are also disclosed.
