Abstract

Acid catalyzed rearrangement of the title compound leads to a second aporphine derivative in addition to the expected product, 10-O-(1-phenyltetrazol-5-yl)-apomorphine. This side product is isomeric with the expected product, and it was shown to be 11-O-(1- phenyltetrazol-5-yl)apomorphine, apparently formed by tetrazole ring migration in the course of the acid catalyzed rearrangement of the morphine derivative.
