Topic: Racemethorphan


  
  DXM (robbo) | Ask Dr. Shulgin Online
It has been synthesized from a benzylisoquinoline (with a planar structure) by a process known as Grewe's cyclization (from the 1950's !) to give the corresponding morphinan (with a three dimensional structure).
The isoquinoline is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydro-1-(4-methoxybenzyl)isoquinoline (there is just one residual double bond at the fusion position of the two rings of the isoquinoline) is converted into the N-formyl derivative, cyclized to the N- formyl normorphinan, and the formyl group reduced to an N-methyl group, to give 3-methoxy-17-methylmorphinan, or Racemethorphan.
The racemic mixture (Racemethorphan) and the (-)-isomer (Levomethorphan) are both Schedule II drugs under the Controlled Substances Act, but the (+)-isomer (Dextromethorphan) has been exempted from scheduling (see 21 U.S.C. 812 (g)(2)).
