A number of ( E )‐7‐arylidenenaltrexones were synthesized by azeotropic distillation of water from a benzene solution of naltrexone and an aromatic aldehyde (benzaldehyde, 4‐chloro‐ and 4‐fluorobenzaldehyde, 3‐and 4‐pyridinecarboxaldehyde and 1‐methyl‐2‐imidazolecarboxaldehyde) using piperidine as a catalyst. In addition, ( E )‐7‐benzylidenenaloxone was prepared by the previously published Claisen‐Schmidt condensation using sodium hydroxide in methanol. The stereochemistry of these arylidene derivatives 3–9 was determined to be ( E ) by means of nuclear Overhauser enhancement experiments. The 13 C nmr spectra of ( E )‐ 3–9 are recorded in deuteriochloroform and those of the hydrochlorides in deuteriodimethyl sulfoxide.
