A series of 53 1-phenyl-6-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes (1) has been tested for their analgetic and narcotic antagonist activities. Structure-activity relationships were investigated by varying the structural parameters. The most interesting compound in this series, the 1-(3-hydroxphenyl)-6,7-dimethyl derivative 8, shows the profile of a well-balanced antagonist-analgesic agent with a very mild physical dependence capacity. The absolute stereochemistry of its active enantiomer [(+)8] was established by the x-ray study and the chemical transformation to the phenylmorphan [(+)-II]. (+)-8 was stereochemically correlated also with the active enantiomer of the 7-demethyl derivatives [(+)-7] by chemical transformation and CD measurement. Certain structural and stereochemical correlations between these compounds (7 and 8) and other known antagonist-analgetics are discussed.
