Abstract

D-propoxyphene can be prepared by reacting d-oxyphene and propionic anhydride. Preferably, an excess of propionic anhydride is used. The reaction easily proceeds at temperatures of 70° to 80° C. and produces yields exceeding 95 percent of theory. The free base d-propoxyphene can easily be converted in high yields to its hydrochloride or napsylate salts, both analgesics.
