Synthesis and Crystal Structure of (7R,8S,9S,12S)-13,14-dehydro-1-(4-fluorobenzy oxy)-N-methyl-2,13-dimethoxy-12-hydroxymorphinane

The title compound (7R,8S,9S,12S)-13,14-dehydro-1-(4'-fluorobenzyloxy)-N-methyl-2,13-dimethoxy-12-hydroxymorphinane was synthesized by the reaction of O-4-bromobenzyl-sinomenine with lithium aluminum hydride. Its chemical structure was determined by Ⅹ-ray single-crystal diffraction. The crystal belongs to triclinic, space group P1 with Mr = 439.51, a=7.7236(1), b = 8.7282(1), c = 9.9342(2) A, a = 81.176(1),β= 67.43, γ= 64.577(1)°,μ = 0.76 mm<'-1>,V= 558.45(2) A<'3>, Z = 1, Dc = 1.307 mg/m<'3>, F(000) = 234 and T= 133 K.
