Novel simple approach was elaborated for the preparation of fentanyl and sufentanil starting from commercially available, cheap 1-methyl-4-piperidone. Compared to existing syntheses new route is shorter, easily scalable, and does not require the use of expensive palladium catalysts, high-pressure equipment, and chromatographic separations. Moreover, it allows for to avoidance of working with the unstable norsufentanil, which is prone to a facile acyl migration to the nitrogen atom of the piperidine core even at ambient temperature, resulting in contamination of the target product.
