16. Morphinane is the parent substance of the broad class of chiral molecules known as the morphine alkaloids. Interestingly, the (1) and (2) enantiomers of the compounds in this family have rather different physiological properties. The (2) compounds, such as morphine, are "narcotic analgesics" (painkillers), whereas the (1) compounds are "antitussives" (ingredients in cough syrup). Dextro- methorphan is one of the simplest and most common of the latter. CH,0. H NH NCH, Morphinane Dextromethorph an
