Abstract

In the present study, a variety of novel tramadol esters (2-6) were synthesized via the reaction of (±)-cis-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]- 1-(3-methoxy-phenyl)cyclohexanol (tramadol) (1) with acid chlorides and triethylamine. Treatment of compound 1 with epichlorohydrin afforded corresponding ether derivative 7. The reaction of compound 1 with isothiocyanates gave the novel carbamothioate derivatives 8- 12. Tramadol derivatives were found more sensitive for detection with (HPLC-DAD) than tramadol itself.
