Wolff ‐ Kishner reduction of the optically active ketomorphinan 5 afforded the optically active morphinan 6 differing chromatographically and spectroscopically from the material obtained in a Grewe ‐cyclization of the isoquinoline 1 . A single crystal X‐ray analysis of a hydrobromide salt of a phenolic amine obtained from 1 and 2 with refluxing hydrobromic acid showed this compound to be the N ‐methylapomorphinan 4 .
