Conformationally constrained perhydroquinoxalines 4 show high κ receptor affinity, selectivity over related receptors and full agonistic activity. Since the κ affinity can be correlated with the dihedral angle of the ethylenediamine pharmacophore ( 4a : 55°/71°), the dihedral angles of the postulated cyclopentane derivative 5a (73°/84°) and indane derivative 6a (77°/81°) were calculated. The first step of the synthesis represents a double Henry reaction of 1,4‐dialdehydes 8 and 10 with nitromethane, leading predominantly to the trans , trans ‐configured nitrodiols 9 and 11 . X‐ray crystal structure analyses of 9 and 11 led to dihedral angles O 2 NCCOH of 73.4 and 88.3°, respectively, which reflect the calculated dihedral angles of the hypothesized final products 5a and 6a .
