The Bentley compounds are a class of semi-synthetic opioids that were first synthesized by K. W. Bentley by Diels-Alder reaction of thebaine with various dienophiles. The compounds are properly known as thevinols and orvinols, or "bridged oripavine derivatives", due to the characteristic 6,14-endo-etheno- bridge and substitution at the 7α position. Buprenorphine and etorphine are perhaps the best known of the family, which was the first series of extremely potent μ-opioid agonists, with some compounds in the series having over many thousands of times the analgesic potency of morphine.[1][2][3][4][5]
