Abstract:
A simple synthesis of ring-constrained endoethenomorphinans possessing 2'-substituted thiazole ring 4-6 has been achieved by regio- and stereoselective Diels-Alder reaction of thiazolomorphinandienes 1-3 and methyl vinyl ketone in high yield (72, 64 and 87%, respectively). The structure of cycloaddition products was determined by high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), IR, 1D and 2D NMR techniques. Double-pulsed field gradient spin-echo-nOe and HMBC were found to be particularly powerful and indispensable tools in the exact structural elucidation of the presented new class of spatially constrained thevinones.

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
