Description

L-(2S,3aR,7aS)-Octahydroindole-2-carboxylic acid is an opioid drug that binds to the μ-opioid receptor. It is a synthetic compound with affinity for the opiate receptors in the brain and spinal cord, which leads to its analgesic effects. L-(2S,3aR,7aS)-Octahydroindole-2-carboxylic acid has been industrially produced by cyclizing the dimethyl ester of L-tryptophan. This synthesis process can be carried out by refluxing 3-hydroxy indole with acetic anhydride and hydrochloric acid in methanol at 60°C for about 16 hours. The resulting product is then heated with concentrated hydrochloric acid until it crystallizes. The resulting product can then be recrystallized from hot water or ethanol and dried over magnesium sulphate. L-(
