The synthesis of ( R )‐2,10‐dihydroxyaporphine ( 3a ), ( R )‐2,10‐dihydroxy‐ N‐n ‐propylnoraporphine ( 3b ) from thebaine and ( R )‐2,11‐dihydroxyaporphine (7), and 1,2,11‐trihydroxyaporphine ( 9 ), from pukateine is reported. The rearrangement of thebaine and northebaine with methanesulfonic acid to 1a and 1b with subsequent N ‐propylation gave 1b . Tetrazolyation of 1a, 1b and hydrogenolysis of 2a and 2b on Pd/C in acetic acid with subsequent O‐demethylation with hydrobromic acid (48%) led to 3a and 3b . R (‐)‐2,11‐Dihydroxyaporphine ( 7 ) was prepared by lithium/ammonia reduction of pukateine. ( R )‐1,2,11‐Trihydroxyaporphine ( 9 ) was synthesized by reaction of pukateine with boron tribromide in dichloromethane.
