Strategies for the construction of morphinan alkaloid AB-rings: regioselective Friedel-Crafts-type cyclisations of gamma-aryl-beta-benzoylamido acids with asymmetrically substituted gamma-aryl rings

The regioselectivity of the Friedel-Crafts-type cyclisation of a range of γ-aryl-β-benzoylamido acids, bearing oxy substituents at the C(3)- and C(4)-positions of the γ-aryl ring, has been investigated. In all of the cases examined (with 3,4-dimethoxy, 3,4-methylenedioxy and 3-hydroxy-4-methoxy subs...
