I am also supprised that someone has not found a way to synthetically convert DXM into heroin yet just look at the structures. All you need to do is form an epoxide in the middle, a double bond on the bottem, and add two acetyl groups and wouldnet you know..
DXM is an anologue of levorphanol, which is an opioid. The DXM Faq has a little information about this

11.6.2 Levorphanol / Levomethorphan
These compounds would most likely have opiate activity. Unfortunately, as someone (wish I remembered who!) once put it, the isomer fairy isn't going to descend from heaven and wave her magic wand. You'd basically have to get the cross bridge to flip around (if you could do this, the hydrogens would probably conform as desired). Good luck! Personally, I don't think it can be done, at least not easily. By the time you got the lab and chemicals to do it, it'd probably be easier just to make methylfentanyl from scratch.
