The title compound has been synthesized by a multistep sequence from ( R )(−)‐morphine, and compared with the product obtained by microbial O ‐demethylation of ( R )‐ and ( S )‐10,11‐dimethoxy‐ N‐n ‐propylnoraporphine ( N‐n ‐propylnorapomorphine dimethyl ether). The comparison was based on an analysis of the trifluoroacetyl derivatives of the microbial products and the synthesized compounds using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry in the electron impact mode. Examination by gas chromatography/electron impact/mass spectrometry of the trifluoroacetyl derivatives of 11‐hydroxy‐10‐methoxyaporphine (apocodeine, 3) and 10‐methoxy‐11‐hydroxyaporphine (isoapocodeine, 5) has revealed their excellent chromatographic resolution, and the preferential loss of the methyl group as in 3 [M ‐ 15] + or the trifluoroacetyl group from the 10‐position of the aporphine ring as in 5 [M ‐ 97] + . Characteristic fragmentations of the these isomeric aporphines were used to confirm their structures and were compared with the spectra of authentic synthetic samples.
