The benzomorphan analogues, 8-hydroxy-3-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,4-methano-1H-3-benzazepine (1), 8-hydroxy-2-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,4-methano-1H-2-benzazepine (2), 9-hydroxy-2-methyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydro-1,5,-methano-2-benzazocine (3), and 10-hydroxy-2-methyl-2,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-1,6-methano-1H-2-benzazonine (4), have been synthesized in order to evaluate their analgetic activity. Only slight analgetic activity was found in any of these compounds. The importance of nitrogen to aromatic ring distance for the analgetic-receptor interaction is discussed.
